Duct tape
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Powdered aluminum pigment gives duct tape its gray color.
Duct tape, or duck tape, is cloth- or scrim-backed pressure sensitive tape often coated with polyethylene. There are a variety of constructions using different backings and adhesives. One variation is gaffer tape designed to be cleanly removed, while duct tape is not. Another variation is heat-resistant duct tape useful for sealing heating and ventilation (HVAC) ducts, produced because standard duct tape fails quickly when used on heating ducts. Duct tape is generally gray or black but also available in other colors.
In 1942 Revolite, then a division of Johnson & Johnson, originally developed an adhesive tape made from a rubber-based adhesive applied to a durable duck cloth backing. This tape resisted water and was used as sealing tape on ammunition cases during World War II.

Duct tape. It was invented for binding ducts together.

The first material called "duck tape" was long strips of plain cotton duck cloth used in making shoes stronger, for decoration on clothing, and for wrapping steel cables or electrical conductors to protect them from corrosion or wear.[1] For instance, in 1902, steel cables supporting the Brooklyn Bridge were first covered in linseed oil then wrapped in duck tape before being laid in place.[2] In the 1910s, certain boots and shoes used canvas duck fabric for the upper or for the insole, and duck tape was sometimes sewn in for reinforcement.[3] In 1936, the US-based Insulated Power Cables Engineers Association specified a wrapping of duck tape as one of many methods used to protect rubber-insulated power cables.[4] In 1942, Gimbel's department store offered venetian blinds that were held together with vertical strips of duck tape.[5] All of these uses were for plain cotton or linen tape that came without a layer of applied adhesive.
Later in 1942 it was reinvented to meet the military needs. It was still called duck tape but was self adhesive, more waterproofed and tear able by hand. After the war, the duck tape product was sold in hardware stores for household repairs. The Melvin A. Anderson Company of Cleveland, Ohio, acquired the rights to the tape in 1950.[12] It was commonly used in construction to wrap air ducts.[16] Following this application, the name "duct tape" came into use in the 1950s, along with tape products that were colored silvery gray like tin ductwork. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape

I first heard the term “ duck-tape” as a child. Hearing words and not understanding their association, I had previously heard of "scotch-tape” and my cousin stuck a piece on my hand. So I understood the basic idea of scotch-tape because I had tactile experience and associations had begun to form. I asked adults what “scotch” is but the association of the term with tape was not given. So it was explained as a name for whiskey as a beverage that I did not like. But scotch -tape didn’t taste like whisky. So then the term “Duck-tape” came up. My grand mother raised ducks and chickens, so I knew what a duck is. Then I asked…”How do you make ducks into tap?”
