PRODUCT FAQ
-
What size is the 3M™ Construction Seaming Tape 8087CW?
The tape comes in a roll that measures 37.5 inches wide by 54.6 yards long, giving you plenty of coverage for your seaming applications.
-
What color is this seaming tape?
This tape is white, making it ideal for applications where you want the seams to blend in with light-colored surfaces or where appearance matters.
-
How many rolls are included in each case?
Each case contains 1 roll of the tape, so you'll want to order multiple cases if you need additional rolls for larger projects.
-
What is this seaming tape typically used for in construction?
The 3M™ Construction Seaming Tape 8087CW is designed to seal and reinforce seams in construction applications, helping to create strong, durable joints in various building materials and surfaces.
3M™ Construction Seaming Tape 8087CW represents a comprehensive solution engineered for professionals who need to effectively seal, seam, splice and repair various moisture barrier materials in both interior and exterior applications. This specialized tape is particularly valuable for working with sheathing products, weather-resistant barriers, and moisture barrier systems that require dependable long-term performance.
By strategically taping seams and joints, builders and contractors can significantly diminish unwanted air infiltration into building envelopes. This enhanced air sealing capability translates directly into improved insulation performance and measurable reductions in seasonal heating and cooling expenses. The tape accomplishes this through a robust construction featuring a biaxially oriented polypropylene film backing that has been coated with a powerful industrial-grade pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive formulation.
The backing material exhibits excellent conformability, allowing it to adapt smoothly to uneven surfaces and irregular architectural details while maintaining a secure, long-lasting seal. The tape maintains its flexibility even under cold weather conditions and can be safely applied across a broad temperature window ranging from 10°F to 185°F. Once installed, the tape continues to perform reliably throughout its service life across temperatures spanning from -40°F to 185°F.
One of the tape's distinguishing characteristics is its notably low moisture vapor transmission rate, which ensures that vapor barrier effectiveness is preserved rather than compromised. The tape unwinds smoothly and can be applied efficiently either by hand or with the assistance of a 3M hand-held applicator tool.
Recommended Applications- Closure systems and seam sealing on housewrap and exterior sheathing materials
- Seaming polyethylene vapor barriers
- Repair of holes and tears in exterior building wraps
- Seaming extruded foam products
The 8087CW tape features an aggressive pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive specifically formulated for reliable performance in cold weather environments. Upon contact, this adhesive bonds immediately to numerous construction materials, including housewrap, insulated sheathing, vapor barrier films, and unfinished wood surfaces. Installation is feasible at temperatures as low as 10°F, while the tape maintains functional performance even in extreme cold reaching -40°F.
Once the bond is established, the tape delivers sustained holding power over extended timeframes. The adhesive demonstrates excellent resistance to aging and ultraviolet radiation, effectively resisting the lifting and curling failures that compromise many inferior tape products over time.
