Racket Hand Glue
Racket hand glue, also known as racket overgrip glue or simply overgrip adhesive, is a specialized adhesive used in racket sports to secure overgrips to the handle of rackets. It is primarily employed to enhance grip comfort, tackiness, and longevity of the overgrip.
Material:
The composition typically involves a pressure-sensitive adhesive base, often a synthetic rubber or acrylic polymer. Common formulations include:
- Solvent-based adhesives: Offer strong adhesion but may contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
- Water-based adhesives: Environmentally friendlier with lower VOC content, though potentially slightly less adhesive strength.
- Tacky polymers: Provide a sticky surface for immediate grip enhancement.
Purpose:
- Enhanced Grip: Increases friction between the hand and the racket handle, improving control and reducing slippage.
- Overgrip Security: Prevents overgrips from unwinding or shifting during play, maintaining a consistent grip feel.
- Moisture Management: Some formulations help absorb sweat, keeping the handle drier and improving grip in humid conditions.
- Prolonged Overgrip Life: By securely attaching the overgrip, it reduces wear and tear, extending its usable lifespan.
Function:
The glue creates a bonding layer between the racket handle and the overgrip. When applied, the adhesive initially possesses a tacky consistency, allowing for easy application and secure attachment. As it cures (typically through air drying or pressure application), it forms a durable bond that withstands the stresses of play.
Usage Scenarios:
- Tennis: Commonly used by players to customize grip size and enhance feel.
- Badminton: Essential for maintaining a secure grip during fast-paced rallies.
- Squash: Important for preventing slippage during intense matches.
- Racquetball: Provides a reliable grip in a dynamic and demanding sport.
- Pickleball: Used for enhancing grip and comfort during extended play sessions.
Common Types:
- Liquid Glue: Applied directly to the handle before wrapping the overgrip. Offers a more uniform and secure bond.
- Glue Tape: Pre-applied adhesive on a tape form, convenient for quick application.
- Spray Adhesive: Provides a thin, even coating, suitable for larger handle areas.
- Overgrip with Pre-Applied Adhesive: Some overgrips come with a built-in adhesive layer, simplifying the application process.
Racket hand glue refers to adhesives used for table tennis rackets. Based on the provided reference material, the following HS codes may be relevant:
- 3506101000: This HS code covers Animal glue, including casein glue, but not including fish glue. It falls under Chapter 35, which includes Prepared glues and other prepared adhesives, not elsewhere specified or included. The subheading 3506.10 specifically identifies products suitable for use as glues or adhesives, put up for retail sale as glues or adhesives, not exceeding a net weight of 1 kg, and further specifies animal glue.
- 3506105000: This HS code also falls under Chapter 35, covering Prepared glues and other prepared adhesives, not elsewhere specified or included. The subheading 3506.10 identifies products suitable for use as glues or adhesives, put up for retail sale as glues or adhesives, not exceeding a net weight of 1 kg, but specifies "Other" types of glue.
- 9506400000: This HS code covers Articles and equipment for table-tennis, and parts and accessories thereof. It falls under Chapter 95, which includes Articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, athletics, other sports (including table-tennis) or outdoor games. This code may be applicable if the glue is specifically marketed as a table tennis accessory.
Regarding HS code 3506101000 and 3506105000, please note that these codes apply to products put up for retail sale with a net weight not exceeding 1 kg. If the glue is sold in larger quantities, other HS codes may be more appropriate.
