3M™ Gripping Material GM641, Black, 24 in x 72 yd, 1 Roll/Case

3M™ Gripping Material GM641 is a soft, black gripping material that utilizes micro-replication technology to create thousands of tiny replicated fingers that enhance grip and reduce slippage. This peel-and-stick product is designed to bond to many surfaces, providing a quick and easy increase in traction. When mated with another gripping material, it provides good durability and high coefficient of friction properties. Used alone, this material provides a secure grip, but when used in conjunction with another gripping material, such as sewn into a glove and wrapped onto a handle bar, grip strength is maximized even in wet conditions. This material is an ideal choice for exterior applications or those applications which will expose the material to some sunlight, as it has the best UV sunlight resistance of the gripping material products.

3M™ Gripping Material GM641 is constructed with a thin and flexible fabric backing that is laminated to an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive designed to easily apply using a peel and stick application method. It bonds to a wide variety of surfaces, including low surface energy substrates, such as low surface energy plastics and powder coated paints and can be spiral wrapped around handles and shafts. 3M™ Gripping Material products can be shear cut, die-cut, laser cut or converted by other applicable methods.

3M™ Gripping Material GM641 performs well across a broad range of temperatures, ranging from -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C) indoors and outdoors.

3M gripping materials are available in roll or sheet form in a wide range of tactility from very soft to firm. Soft gripping material products are designed to be more comfortable during skin contact and tend to be more flexible to contour more easily to tighter curves. Firm gripping material products are extremely durable, and tend to be stiffer. If prolonged service life in harsh use conditions is a critical feature for your product, durability of the gripping material increases with firmness. Actual service life will depend on frequency of use and severity of end use conditions, but typically, most 3M™ Gripping Material can outlast leather in a factory or in the field. 3M™ Gripping Material products are designed to be used alone, or as a two-part mated system. When used alone (on a single surface), the 3M™ Gripping Materials provide a strong secure grip. When used as a two-part mated system, for example, on a glove and handle bar, grip strength is maximized.
