3M 3979 Series Duct Tape

3M Series 3979 is a general-purpose duct tape built for everyday repairs, bundling and sealing tasks. The polyethylene-coated cloth backing carries a rubber adhesive rated at 68 oz/in adhesion to steel. Supplied as a continuous roll measuring 1 7/8 in wide by 60 yd long, it suits contractors, maintenance crews and DIY users who need a reliable single-sided tape for indoor jobs.

Indoor Temperature Limit 200 °F

This tape is rated for a maximum performance temperature of 200 °F and is designated for indoor use only. It replaces cloth-backed utility tapes that lack a defined heat rating or that fail above lower temperatures. The jump is worth it when the application demands consistent adhesion up to the stated limit and a verified 7.9 mil thickness for predictable tear resistance.

General-Purpose Indoor Repair

The roll suits anyone needing a 47.6 mm wide, 54.8 m long tape for sealing ducts, patching sheet materials or bundling cables inside a building. Buyers who require outdoor weathering resistance, plenum-rated materials or a higher temperature ceiling should look at products specified for those conditions.

Questions about this item

What surface width does the 1 7/8 in tape cover?

The roll is 1 7/8 in (47.6 mm) wide, so it covers that width in a single pass.

How do I apply the rubber adhesive without trapping air bubbles?

Press firmly along the full length as you unroll; the rubber adhesive bonds instantly to steel at 68 oz/in, so gaps weaken the hold.

When should I replace tape that has been near the 200 °F limit?

Replace it if the polyethylene-coated cloth backing darkens, stiffens or loses tack after prolonged exposure to 200 °F.
