Premium UV-tolerant duct tape with clean removal capability, ideal for indoor and outdoor maintenance, repair, and construction applications with superior adhesion and durability.
3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 is a premium-grade, UV-tolerant duct tape engineered for versatile indoor and outdoor applications. This high-performance tape features a unique construction combining polyethylene film laminated to cloth with a rubber adhesive, making it ideal for maintenance, repair, and construction projects. The tape maintains exceptional performance when exposed to outdoor elements, providing reliable adhesion for up to one year while remaining removable with minimal residue for up to six months after application.
This slate blue duct tape is specifically designed for applications requiring durability and ease of use. It tears cleanly from the roll by hand and conforms to irregular surfaces without lifting, providing a tight, moisture-resistant seal in various containment situations. With a tensile strength of 36.5 lbs and adhesion to steel of 57 oz/in, the tape delivers strong water-resistant backing that resists wear and light abrasion. The 12.1 mil thickness and fabric-reinforced polyethylene film construction ensure superior strength and reliability across diverse applications including HVAC work, temporary weather sealing, bundling, reinforcing, and securing conduit ends.
Each case contains 6 rolls of 7-inch wide tape with 60-yard length per roll, totaling 360 yards of premium duct tape. The product has been tested for flame spread using UL723 and ASTM E84 standards and can withstand temperatures up to 200°F for extended periods. With an 18-month shelf life and available in multiple color options including slate blue, black, and olive, this industrial-grade tape is perfect for professional contractors, maintenance teams, and industrial applications.
