3M technologies for the transportation industry

Abrasive wheels 3M™ Cubitron™ II combine high aggressiveness and slow wear, high quality of the surface allows to reduce the number of subsequent grinding and finishing operations. Abrasive wheels 3M™ Cubitron™ II is used at all stages of the technological process in the manufacture of wagons, doors, ceiling panels and interior elements.

New adhesive solutions, such as heat-resistant two-component adhesive DP NS 8407, the new range of VHB tapes™ GPH eliminates the need for welding when installing the ceiling panels, interior panels, reduce the number of operations in the powder coating process structures.

Adhesive technology 3M used to solve practically any tasks of gluing and Assembly of complex structures for the marking of industrial facilities and hazardous areas, clearance and anti-vandal protection of objects of transport and infrastructure.

Among the latest design trends presented at the exhibition, experts say that the sleek design of cars with trim in light wood, a departure from painting the exterior elements of the car to the wrapping, special attention to anti-vandal protection of surfaces and the presence of large areas of Windows.
