Polycarbonate Solid Aluminium Sealing Tape

Polycarbonate Solid Aluminium Sealing Tape

The Polycarbonate Solid Aluminium Sealing Tape is a vital component for polycarbonate roofing systems, designed to seal the top open ends of polycarbonate sheets. This tape prevents the ingress of moisture, dust, insects, and algae, maintaining the sheet's clarity and structural integrity. The bottom ends of the sheets should be sealed with breather tape to allow proper ventilation and minimize condensation.

Key Features

• Material: Durable aluminium tape that provides a weather-resistant seal.
• Dimensions: Available in various widths to suit different sheet thicknesses, typically supplied in 10-meter rolls.
• Application: Specifically designed for sealing the top edges of polycarbonate sheets.
• Compatibility: Suitable for polycarbonate sheets ranging from 10mm to 25mm thickness.

Benefits

• Prevents Contamination: Blocks moisture, dust, insects, and algae from entering the sheet's channels.
• Enhances Durability: Protects the structural integrity of the sheets by keeping the internal channels clean.
• Easy Application: Features a self-adhesive backing for simple installation.

Installation Guidelines

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the top edge of the polycarbonate sheet is clean and dry.
2. Measuring and Cutting: Measure the width of the sheet and cut the aluminium tape to the required length.
3. Application: Align the tape with the top edge and press firmly to adhere, creating a secure seal.
4. Protection: Cover the taped edge with a suitable 'U' profile and seal with silicone to protect against rainwater runoff.

Breather Tape for Bottom Ends

At the bottom end of the polycarbonate sheets, breather tape is applied to allow air circulation and reduce condensation by equalizing air vapor pressure. Breather tape also prevents dust and insects from entering the sheet. To protect the breather tape and the lower sheet edge, cover it with a 'U' profile and seal with silicone to prevent rainwater runoff.

Important Note

Always use aluminium sealing tape at the top end of the sheet and breather tape at the bottom end to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your polycarbonate roofing system.
