What Makes a Surface a Good Candidate for 3M DI-NOC

The best surfaces for 3M DI-NOC are smooth, clean, solid, and non-porous. Surfaces with peeling paint, heavy texture, moisture damage, or raw porous materials like unsealed wood or concrete usually need preparation before installation. A professional installer will evaluate your surfaces and let you know what prep is needed.

Where 3M DI-NOC May Not Be the Right Fit

DI-NOC is durable, but it isn’t the right choice for every situation. It is not intended for:

• Surfaces exposed to constant standing water
• Areas exposed to high heat, such as directly around cooktops
• Cutting surfaces or areas that see heavy abrasion
• Heavily textured surfaces that can’t be smoothed

Interior and Exterior Use

Most DI-NOC finishes are designed for interior use. Some options are rated for exterior applications, such as building entrances and storefronts. If you’re considering an exterior project, confirm that the specific finish you choose is rated for outdoor use.
