Multifoil: experienced manufacturer of barrier tape

Polycarbonate material is quite easy to handle and is available in many different styles that suit a wide variety of applications. Polycarbonate sheets are used for DIY carports, in football stadiums, in greenhouses, and in observatories, for instance. Polycarbonate offers a lightweight construction and is very sustainable. A downside to using polycarbonate sheets, however, is their permeability. Condensation within sheets will make them look green and dirty over time. To prevent this, Multifoil has developed a special kind of barrier tape. Our moisture-resistant breather tape prevents moisture and dirt from settling within polycarbonate sheets, while still allowing the drainage of condensation. Multifoil has been a top manufacturer of durable AntiDUST® tape for many years, specialising in a wide range of solutions:

• Barrier tape
• carport tape
• sky light tape
• punched tape
• blanking tape
• pressure sensitive tape

Breather tape is used to seal open fluted ends on polycarbonate sheets, to prevent dust and insects from entering the sheets. Our breather tape and filter tape also help reduce the risk of condensation between layers. Breather tape has to be applied to the lower end of the sheet to keep out dust and moisture while letting out condensation. Once the panels have been sealed correctly with our barrier tape, they are ready for fitting.

Why is condensation a problem for multi-wall sheets?

Condensation is a natural phenomenon, but it poses a threat to multi-wall sheets. Water inside a polycarbonate sheet forms a perfect environment for algae and fungi to develop. Both algae and fungi can seriously affect and weaken your structure. Our filter tape is specially designed to let condensation out from between your sheets, while preventing algae, fungi, or mould from entering and developing inside the structure.

Why use AntiDUST® breather tape and filter tape?

All our tapes have been designed with one solution in mind: keeping polycarbonate sheets clean, dry, and durable. Several factors set our filter tape apart. The first is our use of high-end non-woven material, which easily allows condensation to drain from the structure. The tape allows for the right amount of ventilation, which prevents mould from forming within polycarbonate sheets. Due to the strong adhesive of our AntiDUST® tape, it is weather-, moisture-, and temperature-resistant. The tape expands and contracts with the sheet, making its seal strong and reliable under all circumstances.

Using polycarbonate sheets and carport tape

Polycarbonate sheets can be used for several purposes, creating lightweight roofs for carports, conservatories, garages, or studios. As a manufacturer of industrial carport tape, we know exactly why it is important to make sure polycarbonate sheets are sealed correctly. Our filter tape is used to seal the tops of polycarbonate sheets, ensuring a durable structure. Because moisture and dirt will naturally follow gravity, it is important to apply waterproof blanking tape at the top of a panel and to use filter tape at the bottom. This allows condensation to naturally flow out of the sheets.

Application tools for filter tape and breather tape

Our AntiDUST® tapes are sensitive to pressure. You have to give some pressure when applying the tape to create the best tack. As a manufacturer of breather tape, we can also supply you with the right tools for applying our products. These tools help you apply the tape correctly and speed up the process of any project or production. Are you interested in our specialist tools for applying filter tape?
