Product Description
3M™ Gripping Material GM110 and GM400 are based on 3M’s proprietary micro-
replicated technology. 3M gripping material GM110 consists of a high-friction
surface with a nylon knit backing that provides stretch in the cross-web directions.
It can be attached to other substrates by sewing. 3M gripping material GM110 is
ideally suited for applications requiring stretch, such as athletic gloves. 3M gripping
material GM400 consists of a high-friction surface with a thin flexible backing and
acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive with liner. When used alone on a single surface,
3M gripping material provides a strong secure grip. When used as a two-part system,
for example on a glove and a handlebar grip, strength is maximized. As firmly as 3M
gripping material holds, it releases just as easily.
Converting and
Application
3M™ Gripping Material GM110
3M™ Gripping Material GM110 plain
back can be shear cut, die-cut, or
converted by other applicable methods,
and can be sewn to a wide variety of
substrates using most commercially
available equipment. Excessive thread
tension may cause tearing or cutting of
the product. Avoid direct contact with
heated processing surfaces, in excess
of 160°F (71°C), for prolonged periods
of time.
3M™ Gripping Material GM400
3M™ Gripping Material GM400 with
pressure sensitive adhesive can be shear cut,
die-cut, or converted by other application
methods. When used as a handle wrap,
material should be spiral wrapped so edges
are aligned next to each other with minimal
gaps. The leading and ending edges of the
wrap should be secured with end caps or tape
designed for that purpose. Minimum tension
should be used to avoid stretching and
distortion of the product. Avoide direct
direct contact with heated processing
surfaces, in excess of 160°F (71°C), for
prolonged periods of time.
