βDuck Tapeβ is now a trademarked brand of ββduct tapeβ, which is the currently used common terminology for the tape.
However;
When the tape was first introduced for use by the military, βduck tapeβ actually became the commonly used informal term for the tape.
Later, βduct tape, started being used as a term for the tape, and βduck tapeβ dropped out of common usage.
While some contractors like use the tape for sealing ducts, metallic tape, usually made from aluminum or stainless steel, is a more correct tape to use nowadays.
Due to past and current terminology, both
βduck tapeβ, and βduct tapeβ are basically correct.
