The History of Duck Tape

Duct tape has adhered itself so well to American culture that it's become much more than a roll of tape. It's an enduring symbol of all in this world that is functional.

So how did this sticky wonder come about? It was World War II and there was a need for a strong, flexible, durable, waterproof tape that could seal canisters, repair cracked windows, repair trucks, and help the war effort in general. Permacell, a division of the Johnson and Johnson Company, stepped up to this challenge. Using 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 nicknamed "Duck Tape" for its ability to repel water, while ripping easily into strips for fast convenient use.

After the war the tape was 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.

Thirty years later, Jack Kahl, former CEO of Manco, Inc., changed the name of the product to Duck Tape and put ‘Manco T. Duck’ on the Duck Tape logo, giving personality to a commodity product. Manco, Inc. also began to shrink-wrap and label the product, making it easier to stack for retailers, and easier to distinguish different grades for customers.

Now, over 50 years after its invention, Duck tape is sold in more than 20 colors and is touted by its followers for having a nearly endless amount of uses. What will happen to Duck Tape? What advancements in Duck Tape technology will be made? Only time will tell.

Preparing Surfaces to Use Duck Tape

When using Duck Tape, whether the traditional silver or one of the rainbow of Duck color tapes, all surfaces should be clean and free of dust or dirt before placing any tape on them. You will want to dust the surface and then wipe the area down with rubbing alcohol. However, rubbing alcohol can dull certain surfaces, so try it on a small, inconspicuous area before applying on a large scale.

5.0 out of 5 stars upgraded! December 9, 2011

Color Name:Leopard (Spotted)|Size Name:Single Roll

With leopard print my girlfriend says she feels more fashionable but that it still tastes the same. An upgrade from the tacky silver/grey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Border for an Art Project March 26, 2012

By Jill of PJgamers

Color Name:Paint Splatter| Size Name:Single Roll|Amazon Verified Purchase

My daughter has really been into watercolors lately. I love her pictures but they just end up getting lost. I thought this duck tape would make a great border to save some of those pictures and decorate her playroom in a more permanent way. It turned out great! Up close you can see the lines (from the strings) just like you can on normal duck tape. But, from a foot away, you can't see those lines anymore. I think the project turned out great. The duck tape looks good and was easy to work with. It was more than enough for the project. I'd recommend this duck tape.

4.0 out of 5 stars spotted duck February 11, 2012

By Desert Gypsy TOP 100 REVIEWER

Color Name:Leopard (Spotted)|Size Name:Single Roll

My tool kit was out of Duck Tape so I went to replace it lo and behold find they came out with Spotted Leopard print tape - sweet!!! A little excitement for the usually boring tool bag.

Now I'm just waiting for something to break a little bit so I can use this stuff.
