Televisions, lightbulbs and toaster ovens are just a few of the inventions that have changed American life. Scientists still use technology to improve our home products. The efficiency of appliances has increased. Smart homes are now able to control their thermostat and lock their doors with their smartphones.
Popular Science Magazine publishes the following every year: “Best of What’s New”Awards for products that exhibit cutting-edge innovation. Popular Science recognizes products that are not science fiction. Popular Science identified a toilet and a watch in 2007, as well as a bicycle, crepe masking tape, and a bicycle.
The excitement that painters tape can cause is not something that you would expect. But Frog Tape (http://frogtape.com), which won a Best of What’s New award in Popular Science’s Home Tech category, does exactly what old tapes failed to do -; create clean edges around paint jobs.
Inspired Technologies, Inc., which is the manufacturer of Frog Tape, recognized a common complaint. Blue tape leaking from the walls is not something that professional painters, contractors or home designers can use. A painter would tape the top of the kitchen walls with crepe tape before painting the walls. He would then remove the tape and find any uneven edges that he would need to retouch manually.
David Wagner, president, Inspired Technologies, Inc., stated these words. “We recognized a need for a tape that is specifically engineered to work with the tougher requirements that latex paint brought to the job site.”
Inspired Technologies developed green-colored Frog Tape. This tape is a crepe masking paper with Paintblock technology. Paintblock is a paint adhesive that reacts with latex paint. It forms a micro barrier immediately, which helps to stop paint from leaking underneath the tape.
What is the result? The result?
