3M 7010376442 Grid Air 8068E Air Sealing Tape

Product Description

The 3M 7010376442 is the Grid Air 8068E, an air, vapor, moisture, and water impermeable sealing tape designed for building envelope applications. It uses an aggressive, high-tack pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive that bonds to most building materials without primers or adhesion promoters. A reinforced scrim backing limits stretch and adds structural integrity, while a multi-layer elastomeric film backing seals around nails and staples to block moisture intrusion. This tape is suited for installation by weatherization contractors, building envelope specialists, and insulation crews working on residential and commercial construction projects.

Grid Air 8068E is used in building construction applications where a reliable air and vapor barrier is required. It can be applied in a wide range of temperatures, down to 0 degrees F, making it practical for cold-weather construction. Available in both self-wound and linered versions in black and white, it fits into a variety of sealing and flashing workflows. Service temperatures range from -40 degrees F to 240 degrees F, and the tape withstands up to 12 months of UV exposure, supporting extended installation timelines before cladding or finishing is applied.

Key Features

• Reinforced scrim backing reduces stretch and improves tape integrity during installation
• Multi-layer elastomeric film seals around nails and staples to prevent moisture intrusion
• Aggressive acrylic adhesive bonds to most building substrates without adhesion promoters
• Application temperature range: 0 degrees F to 176 degrees F
• Service temperature range: -40 degrees F to 240 degrees F
• Rated for up to 12 months of UV resistance after installation

Compatibility

Designed for use in a wide variety of building construction air and vapor sealing applications; bonds to most common building materials without the use of adhesion promoters.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by weatherization contractors or building envelope crews as part of air barrier system work. Ensure the substrate surface is clean, dry, and free of loose debris before applying tape. Follow all applicable building codes and manufacturer instructions regarding overlap requirements and seam placement. Do not stretch the tape during application, as this may compromise the seal.
