ACTUALLY it’s both Duct tape AND Duck tape. The original design of duck/(t^2)ape was militaristic in purpose and was infact design to hold together holes in inflatable rafts. The tape had to be able to withstand getting wet, and actually had to be made to be put on -in- water. It was also used to seal ammo cases to keep the ammunition to get wet. Backstory unneeded, the original design is important. In WW2 Revolite developed an adhesive tape made from a rubber-based adhesive applied to a durable duck cloth backing.
Duck cloth + applied in water and being water resistant by rolling water off in the same fashion that ducks feathers do -> Duck-tape
Special tapes actually designed for sealing heating and ventilation ducts. To provide laboratory data about which sealants and tapes last, and which are likely to fail, research was conducted at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Environmental Energy Technologies Division. Their major conclusion was that one should not use common duck tape to seal ducts (they had defined duck tape as any fabric-based tape with rubber adhesive). The testing done shows that under challenging but realistic conditions, common duck tapes become brittle and may fail.
You know, I REALLY hate to be that guy, but it’s DUCT tape. It’s not used to hold waterfowl together, after all!
You, sir, are correct!
