3M 7000001329 Performance Plus Duct Tape 48mm 12.1 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000001329 is a multi-purpose performance duct tape designed for both permanent and temporary fastening applications in indoor and outdoor environments. Sold as the Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 in Slate Blue, this tape features a 12.1 mil total thickness and comes in a 48mm wide roll spanning 22.8 meters. It is engineered for trade professionals who need a reliable tape that can be removed cleanly up to 6 months after application with little or no adhesive residue on most opaque surfaces. The backing resists UV degradation for up to one year of outdoor exposure, making it a practical choice for job-site and exterior applications.

This tape is suited for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction trades where both temporary and permanent bonding solutions are required on a single job. Typical uses include bundling, sealing, holding insulation in place, masking during work, temporary weatherproofing, and marking during installation. Its clean-removal characteristic makes it appropriate for applications where surface protection matters, such as temporary duct sealing, equipment protection, and staged construction work both indoors and outdoors.

Key Features

• Removable with little or no adhesive residue from most opaque surfaces up to 6 months after application
• UV-resistant backing rated for up to one year of outdoor exposure
• 12.1 mil total thickness for durability in demanding job-site conditions
• 48mm wide roll provides consistent coverage across a range of sealing and bundling tasks
• Suitable for both permanent and temporary applications on a single tape construction

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose duct tape applications across HVAC, construction, plumbing, and electrical trades. Suitable for use on most opaque surfaces where clean removal within 6 months is required.

Installation Notes

Surface should be clean, dry, and free of dust or oil before application to ensure proper adhesion. For temporary applications, remove the tape within the 6-month window to minimize any residue risk. When used outdoors, verify the exposure period does not exceed the one-year UV resistance rating. No special tools are required for application, but a tape dispenser is recommended for straight, consistent cuts on longer runs.
