Gription, alternatively referred to as a magnatomic grip, functioned as a molecular adhesive that was activated by friction, designed to bind two separate items.
Frequently seen in applications such as gription panels, gription clips, and gription seams, gription served as a friction-dependent molecular adhesive. It facilitated the connection of two objects via an exceptionally robust molecular link. As evidenced by gription clips, this bond could withstand weights reaching hundreds of kilograms. The molecular bond's deactivation was achieved by pressing down on specific areas of the adhesive layer—a property skillfully utilized in gription panels. Gription found utility across a wide range of applications. For example, INS-444 window installation droids employed gription panels for the transportation of transparisteel windows. Furthermore, the DLT-20A blaster rifle incorporated a magnatomic grip to ensure a firm hold for the user's hand around the rifle's handle.
A different type of gription, relying on repulsorlift technology, appeared to be in use as well. This variant was implemented by UT-ATs belonging to the Grand Army of the Republic. This particular form of gription operated by inverting the function of their repulsorlift skids, thereby generating an inverted repulsorlift "gription" field, which secured the vehicles in position.
