Premium UV-tolerant duct tape for indoor and outdoor use. Sticks for one year, removes cleanly for six months with no residue. 29in x 60yd roll with 12.1 mil thickness.
3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 is a premium-grade, UV-tolerant duct tape specifically engineered for both indoor and outdoor applications. Constructed of polyethylene film laminated to cloth with a rubber adhesive, this high-performance tape delivers exceptional versatility and reliability in demanding environments. The tape measures 29 inches wide by 60 yards long with a thickness of 12.1 mil, providing substantial coverage for large-scale projects. Originally developed for HVAC applications, this cloth-reinforced duct tape has evolved to serve a wide range of maintenance, repair, and construction settings across multiple industries.
The standout feature of this Performance Plus formula is its remarkable removability and adhesion balance. It sticks immediately upon application and maintains its bond for up to one year without deterioration, yet removes cleanly with little to no adhesive residue for up to six months after application. This unique characteristic makes it ideal for temporary repairs and modifications that may need to be undone without leaving sticky residue. The tape's strong water-resistant backing resists wear and light abrasion, while its ability to conform to irregular surfaces without lifting ensures effective sealing in challenging conditions.
With a maximum operating temperature of 200°F for up to 30 minutes and compliance with UL723 and ASTM E84 flame spread standards, this tape meets rigorous industrial safety requirements. Available in slate blue, black, and olive colors, the 3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 combines functional excellence with aesthetic options. The rubber adhesive provides 57 oz/in adhesion to steel, ensuring reliable performance on metal surfaces commonly found in industrial and construction environments. Each case contains one roll on a 3-inch core, making it suitable for professional contractors and industrial maintenance operations.
