3M 7000124269 Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979N Slate Blue

Product Description

The 3M 7000124269 is a heavy-duty duct tape engineered for both permanent and temporary fastening applications in commercial and residential settings. Sold under the 3M Performance Plus 8979N product line, this slate blue tape is built on a 12.1 mil multi-layer construction that delivers reliable holding strength while remaining removable with little or no adhesive residue from most opaque surfaces up to six months after initial application. Each roll measures 72 mm wide by 54.8 meters long. Contractors, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals reach for this tape when a job requires a clean, residue-free removal option alongside durable performance.

This tape is suited for indoor and outdoor use across a wide range of trade applications including HVAC duct sealing and bundling, temporary surface protection, construction wrap, and general maintenance repairs. The UV-resistant backing holds up to one year of direct outdoor exposure without significant degradation, making it a reliable choice for exterior staging, temporary weather barriers, and seasonal job-site work. The slate blue color aids visual identification on job sites where multiple tape types are in use.

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

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose duct tape applications in HVAC, construction, and maintenance trades where a clean-removal, UV-resistant tape is required on opaque surfaces.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — clean and dry the substrate before application to ensure full adhesive contact. For HVAC duct applications, follow local mechanical codes for approved sealing methods, as this tape may supplement but not always replace mastic or UL-listed duct tape where code requires it. Peel removal cleanly and at a low angle within the six-month window to minimize any residue. Store unused rolls away from direct heat and moisture to preserve adhesive performance.
