Best Answer

Masking tape is a paper product (usually tan color) with adhesive that makes it easily removable. It's a temporary tape. Most people put masking tape on window seals and around door frames (and many other places) when painting a room. Duct Tape is made with a plastic coating (usually silver color); it has a very strong adhesive and is meant to be permanent. It's a little hard to remove and it leaves a lot of adhesive on the surface when you remove it.

Is cellophane tape the same as scotch tape?

Many may use "scotch tape" as a generic term is typically used to refer to cellophane tape of any brand. In conversation, yes, chances are the person asking for "scotch tape" is referring to a cellophane or transparent tape such as that used for wrapping gifts.In reality, the "Scotch" name is in fact a registered trademark of 3M corporation and is the brand name of the original product. The Scotch Brand is applied to various forms of tape, and in fact was originally applied to a masking tape (not cellophane).To help combat trademark genericization, 3M markets its products today as "Scotch Brand Tape."


Where does the name scotch tape came from?

When Richard Drew tested his first masking tape in 1925, it was so ineffective that the painter trying it out reportedly threw the product back at him, shouting, "Take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to put more adhesive on it!" At the time, the term "Scotch" meant anyone who was stingy or cheap; it was born of the stereotype that Scottish people are all of an overly "frugal" mindset. Although Drew improved his masking tape and developed many other functional tapes after that, the name "Scotch" stuck. 3M continues to market their Scotch Brand adhesive products. Over the years, "scotch tape" has itself become a generic term for any roll of (usually transparent or cellophane) tape.
