Oct. 30, 2012

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 30, 2011—3M Automotive Aftermarket introduced a slew of new products aimed at improving practices for collision repairers.

At its booth at the 2012 SEMA Show, 3M released a new set of Trizact 5000 Sanding Discs and Hand Sheets. They come in three sizes—3-, 5- and 6-inches—and should reduce compounding time for detailers, the company said in a release.

The company also introduced a new fine-edge tape and expanded its Dynamic Mixing System with three new products—3M Panel Bonding Adhesive (for bonding steel, aluminum, SMC and FRP), 3M Heavy-Bodied Seam Sealer (for matching OEM body seams) and 3M EZ Sand Flexible Parts Repair.
