    Weather and environmental conditions

    Extreme temperatures, fierce winds, passing rainstorms, UV exposure, long-term environment – you need to make decisions about all kinds of conditions on your job site. You also need options that can be applied in different conditions as well as protect the project through other construction phases. 3M can help. Our experience with adhesives and materials helps us provide products that can be applied through changing weather conditions and hold up against the long-term environment of your building locale.

    Project Complexity

    Construction continues to grow more complex. Architectural programs, local codes and day-to-day logistical and engineering challenges become more sophisticated and technically rigorous, in addition to the traditional challenges of scheduling the right people and finding training. 3M can help you meet those complexity challenges with products that are easy to apply, go on quickly and are flexible enough to handle the wide range of situations you meet on the job site. Our adhesives expertise helps us create products that stick reliably to most building substrates, and our firestop experts can provide Engineering Judgements for unique situations.


Products to help you build in protection

    Insulation around pipes and ducting helps reduce the loss of heat or cooling to the environment, but the insulation can also be damaged, either directly or by condensation. 3M Insulation Moisture Barriers provide a vapor seal to prevent moisture from entering and condensing to damage insulation as well as providing protection against weather or harsh chemical environments that pipes or ducting may pass through. These products not only perform reliably through temperature extremes, they’re easy to apply with minimal equipment.
