Non-woven Materials
After half a century of exploring uses for non-woven materials, 3M is still finding new ways to refine and apply them. In medical tapes, they provide comfort to patients. In abrasives, they improve durability and ease of use. As insulators, they make your car quieter and your jacket warmer. Thanks to 3Mâs expertise in advanced materials and sophisticated manufacturing technologies, new opportunities for non-wovens are being developed in health care, consumer products and heavy industry.
All platforms make multiple products, but not all platforms do it in the same way.

The Web can be imagined as a kind of archaeological site, with layers upon layers of platforms buried beneath every page.
