Products for Industrial Paints and Coatings
-
These functional paint fillers deliver both a uniform sheen and a durable surface finish. Strong and intrinsically hard, 3M™ Ceramic Microspheres resist scrubbing and burnishing. Their unique shape and particle size distribution allow them to pack tightly, enabling higher solids and potentially lower-VOC formulations.
-
When applied to shower glass, glazed tile, ceramic fixtures and other non-porous surfaces, 3M™ Easy Clean Coatings provide an easy-to-clean finish. Treated surfaces repel dirt, liquids and hard water deposits, helping extend the time between cleanings and help to resist stains.
-
These advanced wetting and leveling agents help improve performance in a wide range of architectural paints, adhesives, inks, floor coatings and more. By reducing surface tension, they help create smoother, more uniform durable coatings with fewer surface defects, even on hard-to-wet or contaminated surfaces.
-
As a cost-effective alternative to conventional paint fillers, these hollow glass microspheres help lower the density, weight and viscosity of paint solutions and specialty industrial coating products. 3M™ Glass Bubbles can also be used in solar reflective coatings for roofs.
-
Get a better finish – from the start. In latex and many solvent-based paints, 3M™ Paint Primer Concentrate creates a permanently tacky resin that doesn’t require curing. Ideal for use on metal and plastic, these concentrates will save time while providing a smooth finish.
-
3M™ Stain Resistant Additive Solutions and Sealers help protect porous surfaces such as concrete, stone and tile from both water- and oil-based stains. Designed to help surfaces resist liquid penetration, they make cleanup easier and provide long-lasting stain protection for both exterior and interior paints.
