Premium UV-tolerant duct tape with clean removal up to 6 months, 24mm x 54.8m, 12.1 mil thickness, ideal for outdoor and indoor industrial applications
3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 is a premium-grade, UV-tolerant duct tape engineered for demanding outdoor and indoor applications. Constructed with polyethylene film laminated to cloth with a rubber adhesive, this tape delivers exceptional performance in harsh environmental conditions. The unique formulation maintains versatile performance when exposed to sun, weather, and moisture, making it ideal for construction, maintenance, repair, and temporary weather sealing applications. Originally developed for HVAC applications, this cloth-reinforced tape has evolved to serve a wide range of industrial uses.
The tape features a strong water-resistant backing that resists wear and light abrasion while providing a tight, moisture-resistant seal in many containment situations. It sticks immediately upon application and stays securely in place for up to one year without deterioration. One of its standout benefits is its clean removal capability - it removes cleanly for up to six months from most opaque surfaces, even after extensive sun and weather exposure, with little or no adhesive residue left behind. This eliminates the hassle of dealing with sticky or dried-on residue, saving time and labor costs.
With a tensile strength of 36.5 lb (64 N/cm), this premium tape conforms to irregular surfaces without lifting and tears cleanly off the roll by hand for easy application on rough surfaces. The 12.1 mil thickness provides optimal durability and performance. Available in slate blue, black, and olive colors, it can be used at temperatures up to 200°F for up to 30 minutes and has been tested for flame spread using UL723 and ASTM E84 standards. Each case contains 48 rolls, making it economical for high-volume industrial operations.
