Multifoil, supplier of anti-dust tape

Multifoil’s anti-dust tape helps to extend the lifespan of multiwall sheets, even in the most demanding circumstances. It is used for many purposes, like conservatories, greenhouses, carports or even stadium roofs. Our anti-dust tape is available in several different series. We have breather tapes (also known as vent tape): antiDUST tape 3400, antiDUST tape 4500 and the new antiDUST tape 3500. These breather tapes work best in combination with our blanking tape, the G3600 series. Combining G3600 and anti-dust tape ensures the best protection for polycarbonate multi-wall sheets, preventing dust, insects, moss and algae from entering while still allowing the sheets to breathe and condensation to drain.

Anti-dust tape and sealing tape

Anti-dust tape is used for industrial applications, but also for consumer projects all over the world. This kind of tape can be used in walkways, hospitals, factories, canopies, stadiums and many other places. In combination with our sealing tapes, anti-dust tape will extend the lifetime of your multiwall sheets. This is in part due to the breathable filter, which allows ventilation and drainage. Other features of anti-dust tape include:

• It’s made from specially treated, non-woven material.
• Anti-dust tape provides excellent drainage of condensation.
• The tape expands and contracts with shrinkage or growth in the sheets.
• It prevents bacteria, fungi, insects and algae from entering.
• The tape offers the right amount of ventilation.

Reasons to choose Multifoil’s anti-dust tape

Did you know that condensation is a problem for polycarbonate sheets? When water drops hit a surface with a lower temperature, condensation forms. If this condensation remains within a sheet, this can lead to the formation of algae or fungus. Our anti-dust tape filter has a special surface treatment that allows condensation to drain. The quicker the water is drained away, the more durable your multi-wall sheets will be, as algae and fungus do not get a chance to form. Budget tapes by other manufacturers generally fail to drain quickly enough, creating an environment that is excellent for fungus reproduction. These are the main reasons to choose Multifoil’s anti-dust tape:

1. Condensation: thanks to the non-woven material, condensation is easily drained.
2. Resistant to insects, fungi and algae: anti-dust tape’s filter protects against many types of bacteria.
3. Ventilation: the tape is breathable.
4. Contraction and expansion: anti-dust tape is designed to shrink and grow with the sheet.
5. Coated with adhesive: our anti-dust tape is coated with a high quality adhesive, making it durable and easy to apply.

How to apply anti-dust tape on polycarbonate roofs

It is a misconception that anti-dust tape must be applied to both ends of a polycarbonate sheet. Instead, we recommend closing the upper end with a sealing tape. Anti-dust tape should only be used for the bottom part of the sheet. When using tape for barrel vaulted roofs however, we do recommend using it for both the bottom and top parts. Never use sealing tape on both sides of a multiwall sheet, as this will only keep condensation in. For the correct application of anti-dust tape, we always offer instruction manuals and other technical info on our website. These will tell you precisely what to do and which actions to avoid in order to properly apply anti-dust tape. Of course, you can always contact us with any questions you may have regarding the application of our tapes.

Application tools designed for anti-dust tape

Over the years, manufacturers of anti-dust tape have developed several tools to process panels more quickly. We recommend using a table dispenser to be able to process sheets much faster. A table dispenser comes in in the form of a handheld gun or a table model dispenser. Since our anti-dust tapes are pressure sensitive, they need to be applied with pressure for the best tack. Multifoil has designed a pressure roller, which is a useful tool to apply the tape with. This tool will reduce the risk of cuts and burns on your fingers when applying anti-dust tape. We have also developed a pressure felt pad, which can be used for applying the tape with pressure.
