May 27, 1930
May 27, 1930
In 1923 Richard Drew took a job in Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (now 3M), which was engaged in the production of sandpaper, conducted research in the field of waterproof surfaces and experimented with cellophane.
In 1925, the company tested its new "Wetordry" skins for shops and car-care centers, and Richard was instructed to monitor this process. Once, in a car repair shop, he noticed that when painting bodies in a place where the surface had to be painted with two or more colors, the dividing lines turned out to be inaccurate. The masters did not like this, and Drew promised to come up with something.
After a while, Richard really brought a sticker tape 2 inches wide (5 cm) with a plaster on each edge. During testing this tape has shrunk due to some flaws. The process of improvement took about 5 years - only in 1930 the first roll of the "Scottish" cellophane tape successfully passed the test.
May 27, 1930 Richard Drew patented his invention - a transparent adhesive tape.
The world's first scotch was made of rubber, oils and resins on cellophane basis. It was waterproof and resisted a wide range of temperatures. Originally used to wrap for food. However, during the Great Depression, people themselves came up with many other ways to apply scotch at work and at home: from sealing bags to clothing to storing broken eggs.
In 1932, John Borden perfected the scotch, adding a "built-in" blade for pruning, which greatly facilitated the use of tape.
In the following years, there were some other improvements, as well as an expansion of the range of tapes. For today in family of scotch tape 3M more than 900 names.
