Constructed with thousands of micro-replicated gripping fingers, 3M™ Gripping Material GM400 provides a lighter, yet tighter grip for maximum hold with minimum effort. Designed to enhance grip and reduce slippage, this product is our firmest and most durable gripping material. Backed with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive, this gripping material can bond to a variety of surfaces.
Key Features
- Firm, adhesive-backed gripping material designed to stick on contact
- Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive designed to bond to a wide variety of surfaces
- Tough, durable thermoplastic polyurethane gripping polymer provides excellent abrasion resistance
- When mated, delivers high coefficient of friction properties, even in wet and oily conditions
- Designed to provide slip resistance and easy-release properties
