3M Innovation
The Quality
3M has achieved the highest possible quality rating of manufacture: ISO 9002:1994.
The Polyester
3M manufactures its own polyester, including patented nano-technology, microlayer, and color-stable technology films.
The Urethane
3M manufactures its own non-yellowing urethane from raw materials.
The Adhesive
3M makes its own adhesives. From Scotch Tape® and Post-it® Notes to permanent construction adhesives, 3M is a world leader in adhesive technologies. The adhesives used in 3M’s films provide for fast drying, optical clarity, long-lasting bond, and simple removal.
Abrasion-Resistance
No one knows abrasion like 3M. From sandpaper to Scotchbrite™ scouring pads, this is another category in which 3M is a worldwide leader. This expertise has also taught 3M how to protect against abrasion. With respect to window film, 3M has created an exterior layer that is six to ten times more durable than film alone. It can even hold up to fine steel wool and ammonia-based cleaners. And in the case of paint protection film, 3M’s self-healing clearcoat means you can treat the film as you would your paint. And in the event of minor scratching, the film heals itself.
UV Protection
3M window films block up to 99.9% of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. 3M places the UV inhibitors in the film’s adhesive to stop UV light at the surface of the glass. Consequently, the adhesive does not yellow like that of the competition. In addition, many of 3M’s window films are recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation.
Maintenance
3M films are maintenance-free. You can even clean 3M Window Films with ammonia-based products and you can treat 3M Paint Protection Film as you would treat your paint.
3M: Continuing to Evolve
3M has been investing in and innovating the window film and paint protection film industries since first patenting both products. The 3M Company’s continual dedication to improving the performance of these products is why 3M films are appreciated by automotive enthusiasts worldwide.
