gripping material gm110 ? GM400 technical data october, 2009 product description 3m? gripping material gm110 and GM400 are based on 3m?s proprietary micro- replicated technology. 3m gripping mate rial gm110 consists of a high-friction surface with a nylon knit backing that prov ides 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 lin er. 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 te aring or cutting of the product. avoid direct contact with heated processing surfaces, in excess of 160f (71c), for prolonged periods of time. 3m? gripping material GM400 3m? gripping material GM400 with pressure sensitive adhesi ve 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 160f (71c), for prolonged periods of time.
