Specialty Grips

Examples of Specialty Grips If your product design requires a unique grip cover, but a standard sleeve is inadequate, you've come to the right place! Steere specialty grips solve design requirements for comfort, appearance and function at a competitive price.

Since vinyl dip molding features the least expensive production tooling of any plastic molding process, you keep costs down. This is true for prototype or production quantities of even the most specialized designs.

Specialty Grip Advantages:

Infinite possibilities in shapes, styles and functions.
Detailed hollow configurations easily molded. More comfort, less fatigue.
Superior durability.
Flame retardant.
Resistant to weathering, aging, cracking and deterioration.
Withstands temperatures from -20° to 160°F.
Strongly resistant to ozone attack.
Exterior surfaces without parting lines, flash, or mold and gate marks.
Variety of wall thickness possible without expensive retooling.
