Premium UV-tolerant duct tape with clean removal up to 6 months, immediate adhesion lasting 1 year, ideal for outdoor and indoor industrial applications.
3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 is a premium-grade, UV-tolerant duct tape specifically engineered for demanding outdoor and indoor applications. Constructed from polyethylene film laminated to cloth with a rubber adhesive, this versatile tape maintains exceptional performance when exposed to the elements. The tape features a unique construction that allows it to resist curling and tears cleanly from the roll for easy application on rough surfaces. With a width of 144mm (5.66 inches) and length of 54.8 meters (59.93 yards), this roll delivers reliable performance for industrial and occupational use.
The Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 is renowned for its superior adhesion and durability. It sticks immediately upon application and remains securely adhered for up to one year without deterioration. One of its standout features is the ability to remove cleanly for up to six months from most opaque surfaces, even after prolonged sun and weather exposure, leaving little to no adhesive residue. This makes it ideal for temporary repairs and weather sealing applications where clean removal is essential. The tape is available in slate blue, black, and olive colors to enhance both utility and aesthetics.
Originally developed for HVAC applications, this cloth-reinforced duct tape has evolved to serve a wide range of maintenance, repair, and construction settings. It can be torn by hand and provides immediate adhesion, making it convenient for field applications. The tape has been tested for flame spread using UL723 and ASTM E84 standards and can withstand temperatures up to 200°F for up to 30 minutes. Each case contains 6 rolls, making it economical for bulk purchasing and regular use in industrial environments.
