This demo shows gripping material for industrial handles using 3M™ Gripping Material TB641. Designed for teams working with tool handles, levers, handrails, steering wheels, construction equipment, and other surfaces where slippage can affect control. Request a sample: https://s.3m.com/4n9ybmee 3M™ Gripping Material TB641 is an adhesive-backed, high-friction material designed to add grip to surfaces such as metals, plastics, and sealed woods. Demo summary • Smooth cylindrical metal handles are tested without gripping material, with one handle wrapped, and with both handles wrapped. • Each condition is compared using a twisting motion to show visible slippage or grip. • The demo includes oily hands and a tug-of-war style pull to show grip under more demanding handling conditions. Product highlights • Designed for tough factory and field environments with abrasion and puncture resistance. • Performs indoors and outdoors across a temperature range from -40°F to 140°F, or -40°C to 60°C. • Adhesive-backed construction supports quick application to many surfaces, including metals, plastics, and sealed woods. • Designed to increase friction and reduce slippage even in wet conditions. • Provides noticeable increase in holding power while using less force. • High durability rating with only 3% stem damage after 500 revolutions in Taber abrasion testing. Observed results • In this demo, bare hands slip on the smooth metal handle. • With 3M™ Gripping Material TB641 applied, the wrapped handle shows a clear improvement in grip. • When both handles are wrapped, both hands maintain grip during the twisting motion. • The material continues to show strong grip in the demonstrated oily-hand condition. Why it matters • Improved grip can help operators hold tools and equipment more securely while using less force. • Increased holding power can support enhanced performance and help reduce fatigue. • Useful for industrial tool handles, levers, handrails, steering wheels, construction equipment, and field-use tools. • Also relevant for sports, home, garden, power tool, and assistive product applications where grip and control matter. • Pressure sensitive adhesive helps teams add grip to existing surfaces without redesigning the entire handle or part.
