In the paper and board industry, prioritising eye and hearing protection is paramount to prevent injuries and ensure the health and safety of workers. The nature of their work exposes them to potential hazards such as hazardous chemicals, flying debris, and high noise levels generated...
In industrial workplaces, head injuries are a common cause of accidents, making protective headgear essential. Fortunately, 3M offers a wide range of products designed to improve safety on the job and reduce the risk of head injuries. Head injuries can occur in a variety of ways,...
Abrasive products made by 3M™ Company have been sold into both the industrial and home improvement markets since 1905. Since that time, premium quality cutting speed and long-life abrasive solutions are what customers have come to expect from 3M, and the Scotch-Brite™ Precision Surface Conditioning...
Exposure to noise on job sites is the leading preventable cause of hearing loss in Australian workers. Once acquired, noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is irreversible, but if correct precautions are taken, it is entirely preventable. When it comes to the correct choosing and fitting of hearing...
Interested in improving productivity, and reducing time and labour spend on steel removal? Luckily, cutting with aggressive and slow grinding applications is now a thing of the past. 3M has succeeded in developing microreplication technology, implemented in the latest model from their Cubitron™ Abrasives Series. This...
At best, corrosion and erosion mean progressive oxidization and degradation of pump components —eventually requiring repair and refurbishment, and at worst, they can mean the catalyst for a premature pump failure. The key to avoiding unnecessary downtime on pump applications caused by corrosion and erosion, explains BSC Product Manager Michael Rowe, is understanding pump processes in order to protect the components and boost their reliability. To...
The engineers at 3M were the first to develop precision-shaped grain technology with the 3M Cubitron 982C series model, and now they’ve reinvented it by re-engineering their original precision-shaped grain to create a fibre disc that cuts 33% faster than the original grade disc, according to Nathan Bamford, Application Engineer from 3M’s Abrasive Systems Division. “Conventional ceramic abrasive grains tend to...
When selecting grinding wheels, metal workers often look for two things: Speed and efficiency. Cutting metals faster and cleaner does not always need more expensive cutting wheels, as the new 3M™ Silver grinding wheels have proven. The 3M Silver Range uses similar precision shaped grain technology as the premium 3M™ Cubitron™ II products, delivering speed and long life at a...
