The military specifically needed a waterproof tape that could be used to keep moisture out of ammunition cases.
This is why the originally Duct tape came only in army green. An alternative theory is that they called it thus because it resembled strips of cotton duck. They began using it for repairing jeeps, guns, and aircraft. Shortly after their return, the housing market was booming. Some manufacture then got the bright idea to start selling it as a means to connect heating and air conditioning ducts; this idea caught on among home manufacturers and they started using it in many of the new homes being built.
To allow for this usage, the tapes primary color was switched from green to silver, so that it would match the ducts. Ironically, researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Environmental Energy Division concluded that you should never use Duct tape to seal ducts.

Ironically, researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Environmental Energy Division concluded that you should never use Duct tape to seal ducts. Their tests showed that under typical duct conditions, duct tape becomes brittle and will fail quickly. Duct tape also can catch on fire or just smolder and produce toxic smoke.
This is total crap. It came in silver, not green and was not used in WWII to waterproof ammunition cases. It is silver and called duct tape because it was originally used at joints of heating and cooling DUCTwaork to stop air leaks that reduced the efficiency of the heating and cooling systems. The original tape was made using fabric called duck also known as cotton duck. Thus, Duck Tape. The people that died did have a room sealed with duct tape, but the had a coal-fired heater that literally sucked the air from the room they were in.
So it was not just a room sealed with duct tape. It also happened in the city of Kfar Kassem, in Isreal. Behind a simple item hides a rich and long history of ideas and unexpected adventures. What we know is that, in that letter, she was the first suggesting to use an adhesive fabric tape to seal the boxes of ammunitions, in order to save precious time during battle. That product was made of a thin stripe of duck fabric, with a plastic coat and a layer of rubber-based adhesive.
During the war, the history of duct tape was confined to the emergency repair of military tools and vehicles, and we had to wait until the end of the conflict to see the product spread out on the market for home applications. During the War, the tape simply had no specific name. During the Fifties, duct tape was employed in the construction sector to wrap air ducts , with the production of grey colored tapes that could camouflage on the tin.
In the Fifties, the tape itself assumed many of the features that possesses nowadays. One of the most glorious moments of duct tape occurred in this context, in , when the tape saved the lives of the astronauts on Apollo 13, during a lunar mission.
