This industrial strength duct tape owes its strength and reliable performance to its abrasion resistant, water proof polyethylene film backing. Its dense cloth scrim and aggressive rubber adhesive combine with the backing to produce an effective tape that conforms, sticks where needed, seals, protects and meets dozens of other demanding applications. In addition to strength and reliability, this tape tears easily by hand and removes cleanly for no-hassle use on demand. This heavy-duty duct tape is valuable for hundreds of uses in transportation, aerospace, automotive, commercial vehicle, RV, bus, truck, ship yards, military, metal working, furniture, electronics, solar, trailer manufacturing and woodworking industries.
One of the most important points to consider when choosing a duct tape is how it is going to be used. When it comes to choosing a 3M™ Duct Tape that meets the need for a particular job, consider the following: Performance Plus and Outdoor Masking Tapes are best-in-class tapes for indoor/outdoor use, offering clean removal and long term weatherability. Extra Heavy Duty, Heavy Duty and Multi Purpose duct tapes provide reliable performance for demanding contractor, MRO and industrial job site applications; and General Purpose duct tapes offer cost-effective options for general and lighter duty applications such as bundling, sealing, holding and identifying.
The need for qualities such as strength, moisture resistance, abrasion resistance, heat resistance and clean removal are among the issues that impact the effectiveness of a duct tape. Two of three principal factors that make up a tape's strength are its backing and adhesive. The thicker the backing, the greater tensile strength (the resistance to breaking under tension), moisture and abrasion resistance provided. A rubber-based or synthetic rubber adhesive provides instant stick, a strong bond and long-lasting hold, even in moist conditions. Lastly, the distinctive cloth scrim, laminated between the backing and the adhesive, adds additional strength and also helps guide straight horizontal and vertical tearing.
One last and often overlooked fact about tapes in general, is that they all need to be stored correctly and they all have a shelf life. Weak adhesion, lifting, curling, breakage and difficulty in removal are more often than not, attributable to age or improperly stored tape, as opposed to quality. In all cases, care should be taken to read all product information thoroughly. In particular, the tape's specifications should be weighed against the task at hand to ensure successful, cost-effective outcomes.
A toolbox mainstay in industry and home workshops, duct tape (sometimes mistakenly referred to as "duck tape") serves a wide range of maintenance, repair and construction needs. The term "duct tape" comes from the tape's original use in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) applications, including duct sealing. Today it is found in residential, industrial and commercial environments and used effectively in construction, electrical, industrial, marine, and military, abatement, trucking and automotive markets.
Trusted 3M Brand Model
The 3M Extra Heavy Duty Duct Tape 6969 offers reliable performance backed by the trusted 3M brand. This model is designed for tough jobs, ensuring you get a tape that stands up to demanding maintenance and repair tasks.
Its industrial strength construction makes it ideal for contractors and professionals who need a dependable tape. The 6969 model is a staple for heavy-duty applications where quality matters.
Heavy Duty Grade Strength
This duct tape is classified as Extra Heavy Duty, meaning it’s thicker and tougher than standard tapes. The 10.7 mil thickness provides excellent durability and resistance to wear, making it suitable for harsh environments.
Its strong polyethylene backing resists water and abrasion, which helps maintain the tape’s integrity during long-term use. This grade is perfect for sealing, bundling, and securing in industrial settings.
Precise Size And Format
The tape measures 48 mm wide by 54.8 meters long, giving you a generous length for multiple projects. This size fits well on standard tape dispensers and is easy to handle for both small and large jobs.
Each roll is individually wrapped, keeping it clean and ready to use. The 24 rolls per case format ensures you have plenty of tape on hand for ongoing work without frequent reordering.
Strong Adhesive Performance
The tape features an aggressive rubber adhesive that sticks instantly and holds firmly. It bonds well to rough surfaces and removes cleanly from indoor, non-glass surfaces for up to 60 days without leaving residue.
This instant adhesion makes it reliable for quick fixes and long-term applications alike. Whether you’re bundling pipes or securing plastic sheeting, the adhesive ensures the tape stays put until the job is done.
Water-Resistant Seal Quality
Thanks to its polyethylene backing, this tape forms a water-tight, moisture-resistant seal. This feature protects surfaces and contents from water damage in many containment and repair situations.
Its maximum conformability allows it to stick easily to irregular surfaces and tight spaces without lifting. This makes it a versatile choice for sealing ducts, wrapping cables, and other challenging tasks.
