The 3M™ 8979 Performance Plus Duct Tape in Slate Blue is a 12.6 mil, heavy-duty tape built on a waterproof backing that resists wear, abrasion, moisture, and weathering. Its aggressive adhesive bonds quickly and is formulated to hold for up to one year outdoors without adhesive breakdown — a meaningful step up from standard duct tape constructions.

The 8979 Duct Tape's defining advantage is clean removability: it lifts from most opaque surfaces without sticky residue for up to six months post-application, even after sustained sunlight exposure and temperature extremes. That combination of strong hold and controlled removal makes it a practical choice for temporary repairs, surface protection, bundling, sealing, and color-coded identification in manufacturing, warehousing, construction, and event production environments.

Slate Blue color aids visual workflow organization and lane or equipment coding. Each case contains 24 rolls, 2 inches by 60 yards, and is eligible to ship via parcel carrier.
