Anti-Hot Spot Tape is a long lasting, self-adhesive foam tape which is applied to tunnel hoops before covering. It provides an insulating layer between the steel and polythene preventing hot spots, which cause the cover to stretch and weaken.

Prolongs life of a polythene cover by at least a year.

Roll size 20mm by 9 metres long.

In sunny conditions tunnel frameworks can become very hot. When this is in direct contact with the polythene cover it causes it to soften, stretch and eventually deteriorate. This problem can be largely overcome by covering the framework with Anti-Hot Spot Tape.
