3M 7000124268 Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979N Slate Blue

Product Description

The 3M 7000124268, sold as 3M Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979N in Slate Blue, is a 12.1 mil multi-layer duct tape designed for both permanent and temporary fastening, bundling, sealing, and patching tasks. The tape measures 48mm wide on a 54.8-meter roll. Its construction is engineered to allow clean removal with little or no adhesive residue from most opaque surfaces up to 6 months after initial application. HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, and general-trade professionals reach for this tape when a job demands a product that handles both short-term and long-term installs without committing to a permanent bond.

This tape is suited for indoor and outdoor applications across residential and commercial job sites. The UV-resistant backing withstands up to one year of direct outdoor exposure, making it a practical choice for temporary weatherproofing, equipment staging, and ductwork sealing in exposed mechanical spaces. It is sold in rolls and is typically stocked in cases for shop or service-van use by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and general contractors.

Key Features

• 12.1 mil total tape thickness for robust tear resistance and conformability on irregular surfaces
• 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
• Suitable for both permanent and temporary applications indoors and outdoors

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose duct sealing, bundling, and temporary fastening applications on most opaque surfaces in residential and commercial mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Surface should be clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, or loose material before tape application to ensure full adhesive contact. No tools beyond a tape dispenser or utility knife are required for standard installation. When used for temporary applications, remove within 6 months to take advantage of the clean-removal characteristic. Outdoor installations should be inspected periodically, as performance may vary beyond the rated one-year UV-exposure window.
