Premium industrial duct tape with superior UV and weather resistance for nuclear, marine, and military applications. Slate blue color, 144mm wide, 54.8m long rolls with clean removal and high tensile strength.
3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979N is a highly specialized, premium-grade duct tape engineered for demanding industrial applications including nuclear power plants, shipbuilding, and steel fabrication. This exceptional tape features a thick rubber adhesive combined with a fabric-reinforced polyethylene backing that delivers superior performance in the most challenging environments. The tape resists UV exposure, sunlight, and weather conditions to maintain its integrity for up to one year without deterioration, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
The distinctive slate blue color makes this industrial-grade tape easily identifiable on job sites and provides visual organization for different applications. With excellent adhesion to steel at 48 oz/in, the tape offers high tensile strength of 36 lbs (63 N/cm) and can be hand-torn from the roll for convenient on-site application. The curl-resistant, moisture-resistant backing conforms easily to irregular and curved surfaces, ensuring reliable performance even on complex geometries. After application, the tape removes cleanly from most opaque surfaces within six months of UV exposure, leaving minimal to no adhesive residue.
Complying with MIL-STD-2041D(SH) Notice 2 specifications for leachable halides and sulfur, this tape meets the stringent requirements of nuclear and military applications. Each case contains 6 rolls, with each roll measuring 144mm (5.66 inches) wide and 54.8 meters (59.93 yards) long at 12.1 mil thickness. Operating effectively between 40°F to 200°F (4°C to 93°C), with a 24-month shelf life, this premium duct tape is the professional choice for demanding industrial, marine, military, and construction applications.
