What is the development history of duct tape?

duct tape is available in different grades, which helps determine the application it should be used for. The grade refers to how the tape is made—the type of adhesive used and the strength of the cloth backing. The strength of a cloth base depends on its thread count, the more threads it has, the stronger it is and therefore the harder it is to tear.

It was originally called duck tongue tape because, during World War II, the U.S. military needed a waterproof tape to protect ammunition boxes from moisture. Johnson & Johnson manufactures this tape, which is known as "duck" tape because of its water-repellent properties similar to water off a duck's back.

What is duct tape used for?

duct tape has now become multi-purpose for general sealing, hole patching, packing boxes and repairs. Some duct tapes also stick to rough and uneven indoor and outdoor surfaces, such as wood, stone, plaster, brick, and metal. Besides these common uses, duct tape has some other interesting applications.

1. Health and Fitness

Tape can be placed over blisters and sores for protection during exercise. To help improve accuracy when using the punching bag, place a square of tape on top of the duct tape as a marker.

2. Home repair

If the screen is broken, cover any holes with duct tape until it is repaired or replaced to keep insects out. Before removing a broken window pane, cross tape across the glass to help keep it from falling apart while it's being replaced.

3. Emergency rescue

If no handy parachute cord is available, lengths of twisted duct tape can be used as cordage or rope in an emergency. Twisting tape like this can also make a clothesline.

Preserve food by resealing bags or cans with tape. In an emergency, duct tape can be used to make a sling, fix a splint, dress a wound, or wrap a sprained ankle.

What is the use of duct tape for plumbing?

duct tape can be used to seal gaps in ductwork to reduce air leaks, however, it should only be a short-term fix. If the tape is applied too long, it will not be effective in sealing the leak, and heated and cooled air will escape through the gaps.

So while duct tape is useful for quick and temporary fixes, over a long period of time it loses its stickiness—especially in wet environments like plumbing.
