The History of Duck Tape

Duct tape has adhered itself so well to American culture that It is change into a lot more than a roll of tape. It is a long lasting symbol of all in this world that may be functional.

So how did this sticky wonder come about? It was once World War II and there was once a need for a strong, flexible, durable, waterproof tape that could seal canisters, repair cracked windows, repair trucks, and assist the war effort in general. Permacell, a division of the Johnson and Johnson Company, stepped up to this challenge. The usage of medical tape as a base, they applied two new technologies. Polycoat adhesives gave the tape its unshakable stick and polyethylene coating allowed them to laminate the tape to a cloth backing, making it extremely strong and flexible. The resulting tape was once nicknamed “Duck Tape” for its ability to repel water, whilst ripping easily into strips for fast convenient use.

After the war the tape was once put to the more civilian use of holding ducts together. So the product changed from a nameless army green tape to the familiar gray duct tape.
