3M creates new technology for dent repair
Publish date: Jul 23, 2010
3M introduced a new mixing system for applying filler and glaze. The system mixes the material and hardener in the nozzle to deliver the needed formulation. It is designed to dispense the filler at the touch of a trigger.
The dynamic mixing system is designed to reduce pinholes, which reduces additional coats of filler or glaze and prevents reworking of jobs. The automatic mixing system is designed to prevent pinholes from being blended into the filler and to prevent over-catalyzation. The system also delivers a tight wet-coat on the car surface, which discourages pinholes from forming.
"We are constantly working with automotive professionals to find new ways to improve their productivity on the job and reduce waste and cost," said Jason Scharton, global marketing manager for 3M. "The Dynamic Mixing System is a great example of our collaboration with shop owners and technicians in developing tools and solutions. They have provided excellent feedback on what they need for efficient, productive body repair, and we have created the next generation of the Dynamic Mixing System to meet their needs."
The system features a lightweight, heavy duty ergonomic gun powered by a pneumatic air system. The disposable mixing nozzles use a vortex-like tornado mixing process that delivers the right ratio of hardener to filler or glaze. This prevents over-catalyzation and pinholes.
There are six product cartridges currently available for the dynamic mixing system - Platinum Plus, Platinum Glaze, Dent Filling Compound, Dent Finishing Glaze, Dent Filling Compound - 95 and Reinforced Filler, all from 3M. Additional material cartridges will be introduced later in 2010.
The system is available by calling 1-877-MMM-CARS or by contacting a local 3M distributor or sales representative. For more information visit the website at www.3m.com.
