Aluminum vent tape from Interstate Plastics is (generally) used for sealing the top and bottom edges of twinwall and multi-wall polycarbonate and acrylic sheets. Applied properly, it seals the polycarbonate interior, allowing moisture to exit while blocking debris and water, stopping mold, algae, insects and dust from accumulating within the walls of the polycarbonate and acrylic sheets. The aluminum tape also prevents noise created from the polycarbonate sheeting's expansion and contraction in response to temperature changes. Note: 6mm (.236") and 8mm (.315") wall should be used with 1"x108' tape. 10mm (.394") and 16mm (.630) wall should be used with 1.5"x108' tape.
Ensure the polycarbonate side that reads "UV side out" faces outward before applying the tape to prevent accidentally taping the top or flipping the sheet and leaving the wrong side exposed to the sun. - Easy to apply
- Seals seams in polycarbonate applications.
- Blocks debris and water with proper drainage of condensation.
- Stops mold, algae, insects and dust from accumulating.
- Allows moisture to exit.
- Superior quick stick at normal temperatures.
- Superior low temperature performance at freezing temperature.
- Prevents excess noise from thermal expansion.
Suitability: We take pride in the quality of our materials as they leave our facility.

Although aluminum vent tape is primarily sold for the intent of sealing polycarbonate applications, we have seen customers use this tape in other applications including dryer hoses and light proofing. Multiwall plastic materials, such as Lexan® and Polygal® polycarbonate sheets, or acrylic sheets, are highly suitable for improved light transmission. Correct moisture control in the channels of the multiwall sheet is essential for guaranteeing the transparency or translucency and long life of the panels. Moisture condenses in the channels of the multiwall panels due to differences in exterior and interior temperature. If this moisture is not removed, it will lead to the growth of algae and mold. Leaving the channels open may seem like a practical solution, but it does not prevent dust and insects from entering the channels, which greatly reduces the clarity. Simply installing an aluminum or plastic profile to the edges of the panels without using aluminum vent tape will not be enough protection against impurities. - 6/8mm wall needs 1"x108' tape.
- 10/16mm wall needs 1.5"x108' tape.
