3M brings clarity to window film claims.

There are scores of companies that claim to be just as good as 3M™ Window Films. Such boasts are especially common for companies that are here today, but long gone tomorrow. The fact is, making such claims is easy. But backing them up with facts makes all the difference. The 3M difference. So here are the facts from a company you know and trust.

We invented window films.

No one has more experience with window films. In 1966, we received the first patent for window films. Today there are millions of square feet of 3M Window Films installed all around the world.

We make our own polyester.

3M is the only window film manufacturer that actually produces its own polyester, including patented microlayer and color-stable technology film.

Thicker doesn’t mean better.

Our thin film gives you a wider margin of safety. By using layer after layer of micro thin polyester films, our film outperforms all others of similar thickness. This superior performance is due to the remarkable flexibility of our film. So while others tear, ours merely stretches–helping to keep the window in the frame even when the glass breaks.

No one knows adhesives like 3M.

3M is the only window film company to make its own adhesives. From Scotch® Tape and Post-it® Notes to permanent construction adhesives, 3M is a world leader in adhesive technologies. The adhesives we use with our films provide a unique combination of fast drying, optical clarity, long-lasting bond and simple removal.
