Adhesive and Seam TapesHistory The invenfion of adhesive tapes has changed and made the overall commercial producfion of various products easy by facilitafing a quick repair and holding different components together. Despite different sort of adhesive substances were found using in the early ages, the first patent for an adhesive was given in 1750 in Britain aher a fish based glue. The first commercial glue factory was opened up in Holland in the early 18th century and the animal-based glue was widely popular unfil the mid- 20thcentury. Advent of synthefic glues in the second half of the 20th century has brought a dynamic change in the adhesive industry as they were easily available, cheaper, advanced quality, and more durable as compared to natural-based glue. Thus, the introducfion of seam tapes was a result of the rapid expansion of synthefic glues, which led to make the industry mulfimillion dollar industry. The origin of adhesive tape can be traced back to 1845 aher Dr. Horace Day, a surgeon used a rubber adhesive applied to strips of fabrics to make a new invenfion called “Surgical Tape”. In 1921, an American pharmaceufical company, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) introduced “Band-Aid,” a brand adhesive product and another American company, 3M under the inifiafive of Richard Drew had invented the world’s first masking tape in1925. Coated with Polyethylene over the cloth tape, which led to the birth of Duct Tape in 1942, developed by J&J during World War II since the American troops needed a waterproof tape that could seal and repair equipment. With the evolufion and research work in the field of tape industry, seam sealing was proved to be useful for prevenfing perforafion corrosion in the1980s.
