About
the Duct tape or Duck tape is a scrim- or cloth-backed tape often coated with Polyethylene[1]. It comes in different color and size.
History
The exact time of creation of Duct tape is set back to the second World War while a cloth called Duct tape was in use since the start of 20th century and it was used as decoration and shoe fixing, the Brooklyn bridge’s steel cables were covered with this material too before they were laid in place[2].
During World War II, Revolite, then a division of Johnson & Johnson, 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.[1]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].
Variations
