Premium UV-tolerant duct tape with rubber adhesive, removable up to 6 months, holds for 1 year, ideal for outdoor repairs and weather sealing
The 3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 is a premium-grade, UV-tolerant duct tape designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. Constructed with polyethylene film laminated to cloth with a rubber adhesive, this tape delivers exceptional versatility and durability. Originally developed for HVAC applications, it has evolved to serve a wide range of maintenance, repair, and construction needs. The tape features a unique construction that resists curling and tears cleanly from the roll for easy application on rough surfaces.
This slate blue duct tape maintains excellent performance when exposed to outdoor elements and weather conditions. It sticks immediately upon application and provides a strong, moisture-resistant seal that remains intact for up to one year without deterioration. The removable formula allows for clean removal with little or no adhesive residue for up to six months after application, making it ideal for temporary repairs and weather sealing tasks. With a tensile strength of 36.5 lbs and 57 oz/in adhesion to steel, this tape conforms to irregular surfaces without lifting and provides a tight seal in containment situations.
The tape has been tested for flame spread using UL723 and ASTM E84 standards and can withstand temperatures as high as 200°F for up to 30 minutes. Available in a 96mm width with 54.8 meters length and 12.1 mil thickness, each case contains 12 rolls for bulk purchasing. The strong water-resistant backing resists wear and light abrasion, while the cloth reinforcement ensures hand tearability and excellent conformability across diverse applications.
