Premium soft gripping material with micro-replicated fingers, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, high friction properties, and exceptional UV resistance for industrial equipment, tools, and handles.
The 3M™ Gripping Material GM641 is a premium soft, adhesive-backed gripping material engineered to provide superior grip enhancement and slip resistance across a wide range of industrial applications. Constructed with thousands of micro-replicated gripping fingers, this innovative material delivers a lighter yet tighter grip for maximum hold with minimum effort. The product features an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive designed to bond to a wide variety of surfaces, including low surface energy substrates such as plastics and powder-coated paints. This black gripping material is ideal for equipment handles, levers, truck steering wheels, power tools, and sports equipment.
With its soft thermoplastic elastomer gripping polymer, the GM641 provides exceptional high friction properties combined with increased cushioning, comfort, flexibility, and softness. When mated with another gripping material, it delivers outstanding durability and high coefficient of friction properties even in wet conditions. The peel-and-stick application method allows for quick and easy installation without requiring additional tools or adhesives. The material can be spiral wrapped around handles and shafts, and can be shear cut, die-cut, laser cut, or converted by other applicable methods to meet specific application requirements.
The 3M™ Gripping Material GM641 offers excellent performance across a broad temperature range from -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C) both indoors and outdoors, making it suitable for exterior applications and those exposed to sunlight. With the best UV sunlight resistance among gripping material products, this material typically outlasts leather in factory and field conditions. Each roll measures 24 inches in width by 72 yards in length, providing substantial coverage for multiple applications. This product is designed for industrial and occupational use only and is not intended for consumer sale or residential use.
