Versatile Solutions...Adhesive-Backed, Plain-Backed, or Molded

Adhesive-backed 3M™ Gripping Material Really Sticks

Adhesives-backed versions are made with high-performance pressure sensitive acrylic adhesives, which gives it the ability to stick on contact to many surfaces such as: metals, plastics, and sealed woods for a fast, easy increase in traction.

Plain-backed for sew-on applications

Plain-backed products provide some stretch, and are designed for sew-on applications such as gloves, where fabrics or leather are used.

Molded grips

Molded grips can be slipped over handles and shafts increasing grip. 3M™ high durability molded grips can be custom designed and manufactured for different high volume applications such as tool handles or shafts.

Benefits

• Increases friction
• Reduces slippage
• Releases quickly
• Enhances grip strength

• Reduces fatigue
• Resists punctures
• Attaches securely

Versatile Product Endures Demanding Conditions

Durability matched to the job

Wherever enhanced grip traction will give you a performance advantage, 3M can help. 3M™ Gripping Material products are available with a range of durability, tactility, and friction options to choose from.

Softer Means Greater Friction

Softer 3M™ Gripping Material products are designed to be more comfortable during skin contact and tend to be more flexible to contour more easily to curves with small radii. The softer the product, the greater the friction, the lower the durability.

Firmer Means Greater Durability

Firmer 3M™ Gripping Material products are stiffer in nature and are designed for harsher environments where increased durability is required. The firmer the product, the lower the friction (unless mated), the greater the durability.
