Product ID: TA0001

£3.50 inc. VAT
Swipe to scroll through tabs

A self adhesive foam tape which when placed over Polytunnel hoops prolongs the life of the polythene by at least one year. Protects the polythene cover against hot spots preventing heat degradation. The slippery surface allows the cover to glide over the frame preventing abrasion and snagging of the cover during construction. First Tunnels always uses Anti Hot Spot Tape when constructing polytunnels. Three widths available - 20mm, 25mm & 30mm, 9 metres on each roll.

The Anti Hot Spot Tape is manufactured with an Acrylic Adhesive rather than a Hot Melt Adhesive. If the Anti Hot Spot Tape is constructed using Hot Melt Adhesive then the performance is seriously compromised. A Hot Melt Adhesive has very poor resistance to UV.

I have used this on my poly tunnels over the last 30 years and it has definitely extended the lifespan of the polythene and it is only now that I feel the hot spot tape needs to be replaced

Once erected I realised that as the polythene cover bends round the hoops with the tension then all the other tubes come into contact. I therefore had to purchase two additional rolls of tape in addition to the two supplied. And yes, it's more difficult, but not impossible to apply the tape after the polythene is in place! It's very sticky and you have one chance to get it just right!
