3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979
3M™ Performance Plus Duct Tape 8979 has a unique tape construction that allows for both permanent and temporary applications whether indoors or
outdoors. It is removable with little or no adhesive residue from most opaque surfaces up to 6 months after application. The tape is conformable, abrasion
resistant, and water resistant. The polyethylene film and cloth scrim construction provides straight, easy tear with high tensile strength for some of the most
demanding applications.
