IGRIPS

Our latest addition to the non-abrasive range, iGrips, is a rubber-like material that is soft to the touch. Suitable for applying to electronics as a means of enhancing grip to prevent damage from drops or to allow more excellent dexterity and control during use. The ‘bobbly’ surface is comfortable to the touch while offering excep­ti­onally high levels of grip.

Our additional aim for this material was to be free from plasti­cisers, chemicals that change plastics properties, making it more malleable. These benefits allow for cheaper construc­tion but at a potential risk to people’s health, as the body can absorb plasticizers. As plasticizers are banned in the USA and parts of Europe, we wanted to give people a non-toxic product that can be safely used on children’s toys and medical equipment.

 The iGrips material is a highly treated siliconized film with extremely low shore hardness properties combined with a hexagonal grouped bobble emboss pattern to provide industry-leading levels of grip. The adhesive is a permanent non-aqueous pressure-sensitive coating to provide a long-term bond.

iGrips is available in self-adhesive (H3474) and non-adhesive (H3473) versions in rolls up to 400mm in width and any width roll from 19mm up to 400mm is possible. Die-cuts are available in many shapes and sizes. Custom options are possible dependent on MOQs.
