(For sewing) Adhesive backed GM613 GM630 GM640 Ultra Soft V ery Soft Soft GM614 GM631 GM641 Technical Data October, 2011 Product Description 3M™ Gripping Materials are based on 3M’s proprietary micro- replicated technology. 3M gripping materials consist of a high-friction surface developed to enhance grip and reduce slippage. The plain backed versions have a nylon knit backing that provides stretch in the cross-web direction; it would typically be attached to other substrates by sewing. It is ideally suited for applications requiring some stretch, such as work or athletic gloves. The adhesive backed 3M gripping materials have the same high- friction surface with a thin flexible backing laminated with an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive which is good for low surface energy surfaces. These gripping products are designed to be used alone, or as a two- part mated system. When used alone on a single surface, 3M soft gripping material provides a strong secure grip. When used as a two-part mated system, for example a glove and handle bar, grip strength is maximized. As firmly as 3M gripping material holds, it releases just as easily. Converting and Application 3M™ Gripping Material GM613, GM630, and GM640 These plain backed products 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 GM614, GM631, and GM641 These pressure sensitive adhesive backed products can be shear cut, die-cut, or converted by other application methods. When used as a handle wrap, material should be wrapped so edges overlap opposite the stress direction. If wrapped handle is to be used in a pushing mode, overlap the wraps from top to bottom. If handle is to be used in pulling mode, overlap wraps from bottom to top. 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. Avoid direct contact with heated processing surfaces, in excess of 160°F (71°C), for prolonged periods of time.
