Premium UV-tolerant duct tape with clean removal up to 6 months. Sticks immediately, lasts 1 year. Slate blue color, 48mm x 54.8m per roll, 24 rolls per case. Industrial-grade for construction, HVAC, and outdoor applications.
3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 is a premium-grade, UV-tolerant duct tape specifically engineered for both indoor and outdoor applications. Constructed with polyethylene film laminated to cloth scrim and bonded with rubber adhesive, this versatile tape delivers exceptional performance in demanding environments. Originally developed for HVAC applications, it has evolved to serve multiple industries including construction, maintenance, and repair operations. The tape features a unique construction that allows it to resist curling, tear cleanly from the roll, and provide immediate adhesion to most surfaces.
This high-performance duct tape maintains its integrity for up to one year without deterioration and removes cleanly for up to six months after application, leaving little or no adhesive residue. The slate blue color option enhances both utility and aesthetic appeal for various applications. With a tensile strength of 36.5 lbs and excellent water-resistant backing, the tape resists wear and light abrasion while providing a tight, moisture-resistant seal. It conforms to irregular surfaces without lifting, making it ideal for complex applications in outdoor settings where sun and weather exposure are primary concerns.
Tested to UL 723 and ASTM E84 standards, this tape can withstand temperatures up to 200°F for short durations. Each case contains 24 rolls of 54.8 meters (59.93 yards) each, providing substantial coverage for industrial and occupational use. The 12.1 mil thickness and 48mm width make it suitable for bundling, reinforcing, weather sealing, patching, and numerous temporary repair applications. Ideal for professionals in construction, HVAC, maintenance, and repair industries.
