The Permacel Division of Johnson & Johnson invented the Military Version of Duct Tape in 1942, ostensibly to keep moisture out of ammunition boxes. As it is made from "cotton duck", a woven cloth, and is waterproof, some people immediately started calling it Duck Tape. The enterprising military engineers of the day found it to be quite versatile, using it to repair anything and everything. However, as its primary post-war usage was to help seal heating and air conditioning ducts, its true name, DUCT TAPE came into common usage.
