3M 7100004176 Gripping Material GM640 Black 24in X 72yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100004176 is a soft, plain-backed gripping material sold as a 24-inch-wide, 72-yard roll in black. It features a nylon knit backing that allows stretch in the cross-web direction, making it well suited for sew-on applications where some give is required. The material resists abrasion and puncture and maintains grip performance across a wide temperature range, from -40 degrees F to 160 degrees F, for both indoor and outdoor use. Fabricators, industrial sewers, and product manufacturers working with performance apparel or protective gear are the primary installers of this material.

This gripping material is designed for sew-on applications that benefit from cross-web stretch, such as the palm and finger panels of athletic gloves, gripping surfaces on sporting equipment handles, and similar performance-wear components. Its broad operating temperature range makes it suitable for both climate-controlled manufacturing environments and end products exposed to outdoor conditions. The plain backing simplifies alignment and attachment during the sewing process.
