3M products save lives

'In the case of an explosion, glass becomes the most dangerous threat to anyone and flying glass is the number one cause for injuries,' said Manohar Raghavan, Consumer Safety and Light Management Division, 3M Gulf. Whenever there is an explosion, it is inevitably the flying glass that gets mentioned in the media, and it is this that causes most number of injuries and the greatest amount of damage which in turn takes the longest time and cost to clear up. 'Thankfully, extensive testing has proven that the threat of injury due to flying glass can be greatly reduced with the use of 3M ScotchShield 600 Ultra. This tough transparent film consists of multiple, microthin polyester layers that work to hold shattered glazing together.'

With many years of experience and having worked with anti-terrorist police departments, risk consultants, and insurance companies, 3M Scotchshield™ Ultra Safety and Security Films greatly enhance the protective capability of the glass in a very unobtrusive manner.

Using advanced micro-laminated film technology 3M has developed a very thin and completely unique security product of outstanding simplicity, durability and effectiveness. This not only holds the glass in place but also is highly resistant to tearing which prolongs the time needed to leave or evacuate a building.
