Specialty Materials

3M™ Ceramic Microspheres
High strength, fine particle ceramic microspheres. Potential enhancements include high filler loading/low viscosity, reduced VOCs, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, gloss control and hardness.

3M™ Cosmetic Microspheres

3M™ Fluorad™ Mist Control Agents
Fluorochemical additive that provides outstanding sulfuric acid mist suppression in the copper electrowinning tankhouse without the formation of a stable foam blanket at the surface of the electrowinning cell.

3M™ Glass Bubbles HGS Series
Hollow glass spheres for use as a density reducing agent for oil and gas drilling fluids and drilling cements. HGS Series comes in range of strengths and densities to suit different downhole conditions.

3M™ Glass Bubbles
Hollow glass microspheres with a high strength to density ratio. Lightweight but with a strength for processing survival. Potential enhancements include high filler loading, reduced warpage/shrinkage, sandability and more.

3M™ Novec™ Fluorosurfactants
3M™ Novec™ Fluorosurfactants decrease surface tension at low concentrations to allow better leveling, wetting and spreading. They can be equally effective in aqueous, non-aqueous and high solid formulations.

3M™ Paint Primer Concentrate HC-913
HC-913 generally works as a primer for paints in which the HC-913 resin is insoluble, such as latex paints and those whose solvent is of the mineral spirits type.

3M™ Stain Resistant Additive SRC-220
SRC-220 additive is an aqueous fluorinated polyurethane dispersion that adds stain resistance and release characteristics to porous surfaces such as concrete, grout, unglazed tile, granite, clay, slate, limestone and terra cotta. It can also be used in c
