is designed with regard to the health, safety and performance of every athlete, the integrity and proper function of all athletic equipment and respect for the environment.*
- GUARDGRIP has been issued a U.S. PATENT by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
- GUARDGRIP has been approved by the NFHS and NCAA for all High School and Collegiate athletics.
- Designed, Engineered and Proudly Made in the USA.
- FDA Compliant and 100% Recyclable.*
- One-piece construction of a 'transparent' soft-pliable thermoplastic material.
- Performs as a functional 3-D decal - 'peel and stick' application. (Weighs only .2 ounce / 6 grams)
- Affixes to a helmet using a specially designed strong bonding / removable 3M Adhesive**
- 3M Adhesive will not affect the integrity or finish of a helmet's plastic shell or any designed safety attributes.
- 100% SAFE for all athletes and participants.
- Works with any non-tethered type mouthguard on the market.
- Works on any type athletic helmet - Football, Lacrosse, etc.
- Works inside a locker to secure a mouthguard between practice and games. (This use is not limited to 'helmet' sports)
- Promotes the use of mouthguards - provides a practical and easy way to secure a mouthguard to a helmet when it's not in the athlete’s mouth.
- Unique gripping function helps prevent mouthguard loss - reducing costs for individuals/schools replacing lost mouthguards.
- Promotes the use and investment of safer and more protective mouthguards - which increase protection against orofacial and dental injuries and may also help mitigate or prevent concussions and also increase physical performance. (Research Study: Academy of General Dentistry & Research Study: Cambridge University Press).
- Helps officials and coaches easily locate a mouthguard on a helmet to monitor NFHS and NCAA mouthguard rules- facilitated by Distinct Placement on a helmet and Transparent Plastic Composition.
- Will not impede the performance of an individual athlete or the play and continuity of the game or practice.

- Unique Gripping Function -helps retain a mouthguards original safety design, physical integrity, performance and useful life-span. (Compliance with manufacturer specifications and applicable warranties)****
- 3M Adhesive - 'Pressure Activated' adhesion-bond secures a GUARDGRIP firmly to helmet surface and will stay affixed in all weather and participation conditions.**
- 3M Adhesive is 'Removable' - leaves helmet surface finish in original condition and NEVER leaves adhesive residue.***
- 3M Adhesive has stronger adhesion-bonding properties than typical helmet decals.
- 3M Adhesive bond and Thermoplastic Material's combined strength can pull a 4,000 lb SUV!
- Applies easily in less than 60 seconds: Prep/Clean helmet surface, peel 3M Adhesive liner and apply as directed.
- Transparent Plastic Composition will not obstruct helmet color.
*GUARDGRIP is Recyclable and meets FDA, UL, VDE, RoHS and PAH Standards.
**The 3M Adhesive is designed to reach High Bond, Peel Adhesion and Static Shear strength. Adhesive withstands extreme temperatures (between 0°F and 175°F), is water, solvent and UV resistant and NEVER leaves adhesive residue on the helmet surface when removed for reconditioning. (3M Adhesive tests on helmet plastics are available upon request)
***RE-USE NOTICE: GUARDGRIP IS NOT REUSABLE OR REPOSITIONABLE
On initial application be careful to place the GUARDGRIP exactly where you want it on the helmet. Once a GUARDGRIP has been applied to a helmet surface - and then removed - the adhesion properties become compromised and will no longer perform effectively to secure it to the helmet and a new GUARDGRIP must be applied.
****Mouthguard manufactures' warranties may vary in scope and coverage.
*****REPLACEMENT NOTICE:
Replacement is recommended after every season. Between replacement the GUARDGRIP can be cleaned with a wet cloth or antibacterial wipe or GUARDFRESH spray. Cleaning helps restore the 'tackiness' of the wings to maintain maximum gripping action.
APPLY - GUARDGRIP to a Clean and Dry surface in temperatures of at least 65°F and above. (Once applied, GUARDGRIP adhesive stays effective in temperatures between 0°F and 175°F)
STORE - GUARDGRIP in temperatures between 65°F and 80°F.
NOTICE: Improper application may result in adhesion failure.
