Description
The 3M 7100043760 Venture Tape 1599B UL181B-FX polypropylene duct tape is designed for the reliable sealing and closure of air ducts and connectors in HVAC and building services. The tape combines a bi-axially orientated polypropylene (BOPP) backing with a specially formulated acrylic adhesive to provide high conformability, excellent adhesion to fibrous and rigid substrates, and consistent performance from -40°C to 85°C. The 3M UL181B-FX label on the tape's exterior provides instant visual confirmation of the safety rating for ductwork applications. Its filmic backing is resistant to humidity and thermal cycling, and the acrylic adhesive sticks to glass fibre, metal, foam, and irregular surfaces for an extended period of time. Use this polypropylene adhesive tape in installation or repair workflows that require UL-listed duct sealing, long-lasting closure, and consistent, measurable performance.
Product Features and Benefits
UL181B-FX safety rated
Clearly printed 3M UL181B-FX identification simplifies compliance checks for duct sealing applications and reduces installation uncertainty. The rating supports certified air connector sealing requirements.
High conformability with BOPP backing
Bi-axially oriented polypropylene backing conforms to curved and irregular surfaces for consistent contact and reduced bridging on joints and seams.
Temperature-tolerant acrylic adhesive
The 3M Venture Tape 1599B is a specially designed acrylic adhesive that maintains adhesion and stability at temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C, making it ideal for both cold stores and warm plant rooms.
Durable seal for HVAC systems
Provides long-lasting closure and air leakage control on ducts and connectors to support efficient HVAC performance and reduced energy loss.
Wide substrate compatibility
Adheres effectively to fibrous materials, foam, metal and glass fibre, making it suitable for a range of ductwork and connector materials.
