More often in everyday life began to appear such a phrase as "tape perforated." If earlier this concept was associated mainly with computers, now it is firmly included in the terminology associated with the construction and repair of buildings and structures.
General information about the material
On sale there is a huge amount of goods called "perforated tape". In this case, this product can be made of a variety of materials. The choice of building material directly depends on where and for what purpose it is planned to use a perforated tape. So, on sale it is possible to find the production made of the zinced steel and covered with a special polymeric layer. Such a perforated tape is used to create suspension systems and fixing clamps. Most often, these materials are used in the installation of water and ventilation systems, as well as in general construction. This perforated tape has a width of 20 mm, and its thickness is 0.5 mm. The rolls are sold in lengths of 10, 15, 25 m. This tape has the main fixing holes for M8 screws, and additional ones - for M3 screws. On sale you can find tapes and other sizes (width - 12-30 mm, thickness - 0.55-1 mm), which has not yet gained wide popularity.
Main characteristics
Perforated tape can be made from other classes and types of steel, but it must necessarily be galvanized (to prevent oxidation). It must have high strength, withstand increased tensile forces (not less than 100 MPa). The minimum term of such hardware is 10 years. To the structures, the perforated mounting tape is fixed with the help of self-tapping screws or dowels. The main advantage of a perforated tape is the presence of a huge number of holes of different diameters. This hardware carefully insures fastening of structures. In this case, there is no need to worry about the flawless insert since there is no weakening of the strength of the main nodes. Perforated mounting tape allows nailing fasteners. It reduces labor costs, improves the appearance of structures, enhances the strength of structures. The mounting tape is perforated, the price of which is quite small (150 rubles / package of metalware with a length of 25 m), can be used in the manufacture of a variety of designs.
Perforated tape for polycarbonate
In addition to fixing hardware made of galvanized steel, a perforated tape with a microfilter can be found on the market, which is specially designed for sealing and protecting cellular polycarbonate from dirt and dust. This self-adhesive, durable and inexpensive building material follows the temperature fluctuations of the panels. In this case, the ribbon creates the necessary microclimate inside the polycarbonate honeycomb. The service life of this material is 10 years. It is well tolerated by ultraviolet rays, low and high temperatures, strong humidity. This silver tape has an adhesive layer of high adhesion. There are several types of width of punched tape for polycarbonate: for the panel 4-10 mm - 25 mm: 16-25 mm - 38 mm; 32-40 mm - 50 mm.
