Duct tape , because it has sticky chemicals in it . if scotch tape gets wet it will fall off!
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."

Dick Drew invented cellophane tape in 1930. Not quite done after creating masking tape, he wondered why one couldn't just stick an adhesive to cellophane. He also created the Scotch brand.
McCleary's Blended Scotch? No. It's made up.
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.

This is a matter of personal opinion.
The french word for sellotape is "ruban adhésif" or more frequently "Scotch / rouleau de Scotch / ruban Scotch" after the brand name.
