In 1845, a surgeon named Dr. Horace Day made the first crude surgical tape by combining India rubber, pine gum, turpentine, litharge (a yellow lead oxide), and turpentine extract of cayenne pepper and applying that mixture to strips of fabric. It was the first “rubber-based” adhesive and Dr. Day used it in his practice as a surgical plaster. Larger scale manufacturing of similar medical tapes began in 1874 by Robert Wood Johnson and George Seaburg in East Orange, NJ. That company would soon become the Johnson & Johnson Company we know today. Later in 1921, Earle Dickson who bought cotton for Johnson & Johnson noticed that the surgical tape kept falling off his wife Josephine’s fingers after cutting them in the kitchen. He fixed a piece of gauze to some cloth backed tape and the first Band-Aid ® was invented. It took almost 75 years from Dr. Day’s first crude tape until the early 1920’s when the first industrial tape application appeared. The application was electrical tape (although the adhesive was more of a cohesive film than the electrical tape we know today) to prevent wires from shorting. The second major industrial tape application was a result of the rise of the American automobile in the 1920’s. Two-toned automobiles were becoming popular and automakers needed a way to produce clean, sharp paint lines while using the new automatic paint spray gun. They started using the surgical tape that was available but the paint wicked through the cloth backing and caused defective paint jobs. Richard Drew, an engineer at Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (3M) happened to be at a local body shop testing their WetorDry® brand sandpaper in 1925 and he saw the workers struggling to get clean paint lines. He went back to his lab and created a 2-inch wide crimp backed paper tape that became the first “masking tape” for painting. Jumping ahead to 1942 and World War II, Johnson & Johnson developed duct tape to seal canisters and repair equipment for the military. The tape was a basically a polyethylene coated cloth tape with good “quick stick” properties that made it easy to use in the field for emergency repairs. The world never looked back and duct tape can be found in almost any home or toolbox.

• Apply the same principle to your operator device type. A flashy human-machine interface (HMI) may look impressive—but a push button interface that performs the same functions is usually cheaper, has a lower learning curve and is easier to access in an emergency.

• The primary function of floor demarcation tape is to create visual cues that guide human behavior. In industrial settings, it is used to demarcate designated areas such as walkways, machinery zones, and emergency exits, thereby preventing accidental forays into hazardous regions. For instance, the familiar yellow tape signifies caution, alerting workers to potential dangers, while green tape often denotes safe pathways or environmental zones.

• In conclusion, amalgamating tape is a versatile and practical tool that can be used in a variety of applications. By following the simple steps outlined above, you can effectively use amalgamating tape to create a water-tight seal on a variety of surfaces. So next time you have a leak or need to make a quick repair, reach for your roll of amalgamating tape and get the job done with ease.

• One of the key features of strong rubber waterproof tape is its durability. Made from high-quality rubber materials, this tape is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, extreme temperatures, and heavy-duty use. Whether you need to seal a leaky pipe or patch up a hole in your roof, this tape can provide a long-lasting and secure solution.
