High performance 50mm 'breathable self-adhesive filter tape protects against ingress of dust, debris and insects in flutes of 25mm and 32mm multi-wall polycarbonate sheeting.
When used as an anti-dust tape on the open ends of polycarbonate conservatory roof panels, Filtarite provides a clean, breathable filter that also allows the escape of water vapour to prevent condensation forming.

This test procedure is intended to replicate the ability of the filter tape to resist the passage of water and therefore the formation of condensation within the cavities of the polycarbonate under wet/heat cycling conditions.

1. Prepare the polycarbonate sheetClean the end of the sheet where you will fit the tape. A good time to remove dirt or moisture from the flutes, which are the channels that run the length of the sheet. Ensure that the surface is clean and dry before...
2. Positioning tape over end Cut 50mm longer than the width of the sheet, to allow 25mm to wrap around both corners. Stick the pre-cut tape to the end of your sheet. Position vertically so that some tape rises above and an equal amount hangs below the end of the sheet. Then...
3. Fold the tape over to secure old the overhanging strips of tape to the top and bottom face of the sheeting. Dont worry if the tape is a little longer than your sheet; you can fold it around the end to...4. Fit End ClosureFit a protective end closure over the sheet to prevent it from being harmed by the elements.
