How did adhesive tape (adhesive tape)
The well-known brand of duct tape is named after the frugality of the Scots. AT English language the word "scotch" means "Scots", "Scotch", also called whiskey.
In the 20s of the last century, in an American company engaged in the production of sandpaper, as well as the development of new types of products from cellophane, Richard Drew worked.
One day he noticed that when painting cars with paints of different colors in a car repair shop, the dividing lines between them turned out inaccurately, because. for this, paper was used, which was then torn off along with the paint.
He suggested using a tape 5 cm wide with glue, which, for economy, was not applied all over the tape, but only along its edges. But when painting where the tape was not sticky, it began to warp.
There were stories and legends about Scottish stinginess then. There is a version that the painter who tested this tape, noticing the savings in glue, told Richard: “Go to your Scottish (scotch) boss and tell him to make this Scottish tape more adhesive!” From this phrase came the name - Scottish tape (scotch tape).
Transparent adhesive tape was originally intended for gluing food packaging, but since then a lot has been invented. various ways its application.
"Scotch" is the name trademark, not a product. But in our country, due to the fact that it was the first to appear on the market, any adhesive tape began to be called adhesive tape.
