Anti Dust Breather Tape For 16mm Multiwall
Keep your polycarbonate sheets clean and free from dust with our Anti-Dust Tape. Designed to prevent dirt and debris from entering the flutes, this perforated tape allows the sheets to breathe while maintaining clarity and durability.
- Essential for Multiwall Sheets: Recommended for sealing cut edges after trimming.
- Breathable & Durable: Perforated design prevents condensation buildup.
- Pre-Taping Service Available: All 10mm+ multiwall sheets from The Polycarbonate Store come pre-taped for your convenience. If you need to re-tape after cutting, additional tape is required.
Note: Pre-taped sheets include aluminium and anti-dust tape on the ends. A 10mm strip of protective film is removed during taping, leaving a score line—this is normal and does not affect quality. If you prefer untaped sheets, please specify at checkout.
Tape Length: approx 33m
How to Apply Anti-Dust Tape
- Choose the Correct Tape – Ensure the tape matches your sheet thickness.
- Cut to Size – The tape should be 50mm wider than the sheet width (allowing a 25mm overhang on each side).
- Prepare the Sheet – Peel back the protective film on both sides and clean the sheet’s edge to remove dirt and moisture.
- Apply the Tape –Stick the tape to the top surface, aligning it evenly along the sheet width.
- Fold it over the open flutes, pressing down firmly to create a secure seal.
- Ensure an equal overhang on both sides.
- Seal the Ends – Fold and stick down the 25mm overhang at each end to create a neat, secure seal.
- Attach End Closures – Always fit a sheet end closure over the tape to prevent water ingress and enhance durability.
Following these steps ensures your sheets remain clean, ventilated, and long-lasting.
Which Tape Do I Need If I’m Cutting My Sheets?
If you are cutting down your polycarbonate sheets, you will generally only need perforated anti-dust tape to reseal the bottom edge. This allows moisture and condensation to escape, maintaining sheet clarity. However, if you cut both ends, you will need both solid aluminium tape for the top and perforated tape for the bottom.
Do the Top and Bottom of the Sheets Use the Same Tape?
No. The top edge of multiwall polycarbonate sheets is sealed with a solid aluminium tape to prevent debris and moisture ingress. The bottom edge requires perforated anti-dust tape, which allows ventilation and helps condensation escape.
