Who Invented The Tape?

In 1928, in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, Richard Drew invented scotch tape. Adhesive tapes can be divided into high-temperature tapes, double-sided tapes, insulating tapes, special tapes, pressure-sensitive tapes, and die-cut tapes according to their functions. Different functions are suitable for different industry needs. The surface of the tape is coated with a layer of adhesive to make the tape stick to the object. The earliest adhesives came from animals and plants. In the nineteenth century, rubber was the main component of the adhesive. In modern times, various polymers are used.
