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 a 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.
