3M Innovation Tour : 3M Unveils Latest Innovations Through Office Tour

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company started as a means to find mineral deposits for abrasives. Now, 3M has become the leader in abrasives, adhesives, and hardware products worldwide, and as a way of thanking the people, especially the Filipinos, in patronizing its products, 3M once again opened its doors to the public through its 3M Innovation Tour at its Makati office along South Luzon Expressway.

Rika Kamibayashi first welcomed us and gave us a briefing on what to be expected in the tour.

Then we set sail to a trip to the entire Customer Technical Center. First up was the Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Room where we found out that what we usually call "scotch tape" should be precisely called cellophane tape. Here are some more of the industrial adhesive products of 3M.

Then we went to the Dental Methods Room, also known as the 3M ESPE Room, where we were welcomed by Dr. Rey Abrenica. He showed us the latest dental offering from 3M, from a mini-toothbrush that brushes the hard-to-reach places to the Clinpro White Varnish.

Also inside are training desks where the dentists in training can try using the latest 3M dental products to any set of teeth, even if some teeth look like that of a vampire!

Next was the Electrical and Communications Markets Methods Room where we saw the latest 3M products that electricians use to help provide us electricity.

Then we went to the Building and Commercial Services/Occupational Health and Safety Methods Room, and there we were amazed about the use of Novec.

Novec is so efficient that it can also be used as an alternate to a fire extinguisher...

...without even pouring its contents to the area where there's fire!

Then we also went to the Electronics Methods, the Consumer and Office Methods, and the Automotive and Aftermarket Methods Rooms and we also learned about 3M's latest products in the respective areas.

Overall, it was a learning experience. Now, I can appreciate and patronize 3M products more.
