Premium outdoor UV-tolerant duct tape with rubber adhesive, 48mm x 55m rolls. Sticks for up to one year, removes cleanly for six months. Ideal for HVAC, construction, maintenance and temporary repairs in indoor/outdoor applications.
3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 is a premium-grade, outdoor UV-tolerant duct tape engineered for versatile performance in demanding indoor and outdoor applications. Constructed of polyethylene film laminated to cloth with a rubber adhesive, this tape maintains exceptional durability when exposed to the elements. The unique construction allows the tape to stick immediately and remain adhered for up to one year without deterioration, while offering clean removal for up to six months from most opaque surfaces even after sun and weather exposure.
This high-performance duct tape is specifically designed for professional and industrial use, featuring a strong water-resistant backing that resists wear and light abrasion. The tape conforms to irregular surfaces without lifting, providing a tight, moisture-resistant seal in many containment situations. Available in multiple colors including slate blue, black, and olive, 3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 offers both functionality and aesthetic appeal for a wide range of maintenance, repair, and construction applications.
With a tensile strength of 36.5 pounds and adhesion to steel of 57 oz/in, this cloth-reinforced tape can be easily torn from the roll by hand. Tested for flame spread using UL723 and ASTM E84 standards, it can be used at temperatures as high as 200°F for up to 30 minutes. The 24-roll case provides excellent value for industrial operations, contractors, and maintenance professionals requiring reliable duct tape solutions.
