Premium outdoor duct tape with UV tolerance and clean removal capability. Sticks for one year, removes cleanly for six months. 48mm x 22.8m rolls in slate blue, 12-roll case.
3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 is a premium-grade, outdoor-rated duct tape engineered for versatile maintenance, repair, and construction applications. Constructed with polyethylene film laminated to cloth reinforcement with a rubber adhesive, this slate blue tape delivers superior performance in both indoor and outdoor environments. The unique formulation maintains versatile performance when exposed to the elements, providing UV tolerance and weather resistance for extended durability.
This high-performance tape sticks immediately upon application and maintains its adhesive strength for up to one year without deterioration. A key advantage is its clean removal capability—it can be removed with little to no adhesive residue for up to six months after application from most opaque surfaces, even after sun and weather exposure. The strong water-resistant backing resists wear and light abrasion while providing a tight, moisture-resistant seal in many containment situations. The tape conforms perfectly to irregular surfaces without lifting, making it ideal for complex applications.
Originally developed for HVAC applications, 3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 has evolved into a versatile solution for bundling, reinforcing, temporary repairs, weather sealing, and countless other industrial and commercial uses. Available in slate blue, black, and olive colors, each 12-roll case contains rolls measuring 48mm wide by 22.8 meters long with a 12.1 mil thickness. The tape can be easily torn by hand and is rated for temperatures up to 200°F for short-term exposure, with a minimum operating temperature of 40°F.
