3M Company 8087CW Red Construction Seaming Tape

Product Description

The 3M COMPANY 8087CW is a red construction seaming tape engineered for sealing seams on house wrap, plastic sheeting, insulation board, and most other construction substrates. It combines an extremely strong polypropylene backing with a proprietary cold weather acrylic adhesive that delivers excellent UV resistance. The tape measures 1-7/8 inches wide by 55 yards long and is built to maintain adhesion in demanding outdoor conditions. Licensed contractors and construction trades use this tape during building envelope installation where a durable, weather-resistant seal is required on vapor barriers and wraps.

This tape is suited for residential and light commercial construction applications where low-temperature installation is a requirement. The proprietary cold weather adhesive allows application in temperatures as low as 14 degrees F, making it practical for year-round jobsite use in cold climates. It is commonly installed during rough framing stages when house wrap or plastic sheeting is applied to exterior wall assemblies, as well as during insulation board installation in both above-grade and below-grade scenarios.

Key Features

• Proprietary cold weather acrylic adhesive rated for application down to 14 degrees F
• Extremely strong polypropylene backing resists tearing during installation
• Excellent UV resistance for exposed construction seam applications
• 1-7/8 inch width sized for standard seam overlap on house wrap and sheeting
• 55-yard roll length reduces mid-task roll changes on large wall assemblies
• Red color aids visual inspection of sealed seams during and after installation

Compatibility

Designed for sealing seams on house wrap, plastic sheeting, insulation board, and most other construction products where a strong, weather-resistant adhesive tape is required.

Installation Notes

Applied by general contractors, building envelope specialists, and insulation installers as part of standard rough construction workflow. Clean and dry the substrate surface before application to ensure proper adhesive contact. In cold weather installs, confirm ambient and surface temperatures are at or above 14 degrees F prior to application. Follow local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for overlap dimensions and seam sealing requirements on weather-resistive barrier systems.
