So while Johnson & Johnson was officially credited with the invention of duct tape, it’s a concerned mother who will be remembered as the mother of duct tape. How duct tape works. The initial iteration that Johnson & Johnson came up with isn’t much different from the version on the market today.

DUCT TAPE. Adhesive tape (specifically masking tape) was invented in the 1920's by Richard Drew of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, Co. (3M). Duct tape (the WWII military version) was first created and manufactured in 1942 (approximate date) by the Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division. Its closest predecessor was medical tape.

Today I found out Duct tape was originally named “Duck” tape and originally only came in green, not silver. Duct tape was originally invented by Johnson & Johnson’s Permacel division during WWII for the military. The military specifically needed a waterproof tape that could be used to keep moisture out of ammunition cases. This is why the originally Duct tape came only in army green.

During times of war, money and resources are funneled into the development of new technologies. In 1942, American GIs in Europe were in the midst of fighting World War II and a durable material was needed to seal ammunition cases, something that was similar to surgical tape, but tougher and water-resistant. Back in the United States, Permacel, a division of Johnson & Johnson invented duct tape in its modern form.

Unlike glue, which forms a bond once the substance hardens, duct tape is a pressure-sensitive adhesive that relies on the degree in which pressure is applied. The stronger the pressure, the stronger the bond, particularly with surfaces that are clean, smooth and hard.
