īlu Tack can be used as a damping agent for sound and vibration applications, due to its low amplitude response properties. In 2007 the artist Elizabeth Thompson created a 200 kg (440 lb) sculpture of a house spider using Blu Tack over a wire frame.

This was such a widespread problem that Sinclair Research's technical support department officially recommended the use of Blu Tack to resolve this issue. īlu Tack was often used with the Sinclair ZX81 microcomputer to help mitigate crashes caused by wobbly external RAM packs. Like all poster putties, Blu Tack provides an alternative to the artist's traditional kneaded eraser.

It is known as "Patafix" in France, Italy, and Portugal, Kennaratyggjó ("teacher's chewing gum") in Iceland, Häftmassa ("attachment paste") or kludd in Sweden, and wondergom in South Africa (an Afrikaans word, literally translated as "wonder glue"). The generic trademark or common name for mounting putty varies by region. Versions of the product are also sold under the generic names "adhesive putty" and "mounting putty".
#STICKY PUTTY REGISTRATION#
Plasti-Tak by Brooks Manufacturing Company appears to pre-date Blu Tack, with a trademark registration in 1964. Similar products of various colours are made by many manufacturers, including Faber-Castell's "Tack-it", Henkel's "Fun-Tak", UHU's "Poster Putty" and "Sticky Tack", UFO's "Dough Tack", "Gummy Sticker" Pritt's "Sticky Stuff", Bostik's " Prestik" and Elmer's "Poster Tack". Since then, many coloured variations have been made, including red and white, yellow and a green Halloween pack. The formulation was slightly altered to retain complete consistency with its blue counterpart. In the United Kingdom in March 2008, 20,000 numbered packs of pink Blu Tack were made available, to help raise money for Breast Cancer Campaign, with 10 pence from each pack going to the charity. Originally Blu Tack was white, but consumer research showed fears that children may mistake it for chewing gum, and a blue colouring was added. The name of the inventor of the actual commercially released Bostik product is unknown.

Flexible and customizable, these putties are best used on hard surfaces to hold lightweight items.A precursor product to Blu Tack was originally developed in 1969 as an accidental by-product of an attempt to develop a new sealant using chalk powder, rubber and oil.
