Actually it is called "Duck" tape. It was developed for the army decades ago. The army wanted a reusable water proof tape that had great properties in tension, but was easy to rip into strips. Since its adhesion properties were not effected by water, users used to say it repelled water "like water off a ducks back". Since it water proof, it's great in applications where condensation collects. Ducts are such an application.
