2 A superior product you can rely on. Every 3M Floor Pad is made to high quality standards. And ongoing innovation and advancements in technology make 3M floor pads more effective than ever. It s no wonder we are the #1 supplier worldwide. Each floor pad in 3M s full line is engineered specifically for a particular maintenance task. 3M floor pad uniformity and quality helps produce: less machine wobble and vibration. less operator fatigue. prolonged useful life of the pad. better results on your floors. Uniform coating throughout every 3M floor pad helps produce a long, useful life, resulting in less pad usage. Plus 3M pads are washable and reusable. All floor pads are not created equally. The differences between floor pads may seem small. But when added up, they can make a big difference to your bottom line in terms of productivity and labor costs. Consider the following attributes of 3M floor pads that help set them apart from the competition: Uniform distribution of mineral abrasives throughout pad not just on the surface offers impressive performance and a long, useful life. OUTSIDE INSIDE OUTSIDE INSIDE Other Floor Pads Individually separated and coated fibers help produce more consistent results. Fibers are uniformly coated with resin and mineral, producing more consistent, high-quality results. Combination of highly conformable fibers help provide maximum pad-to-floor contact. Other Floor Pads Fibers are randomly coated with resin and mineral, which can produce inconsistent results. Larger fibers are less conformable, providing fewer contact points with the floor.

6 Sustaining Our Future The Environmental Sustainability of For 50 years, 3M has incorporated the concept of sustainability into the design of our floor pads. Life Cycle Management 3M Floor Pads are designed to be washable and reusable, lasting longer and outperforming other brands of floor pads to help postpone landfill disposal. Energy saving and enhanced air quality 3M Floor Pads remove black marks up to six times faster, which can lead to less energy usage from burnishing equipment and the added social benefit of reduced labor. 3M Eraser Burnish Pad 3600 generates more than 50 percent less dust during burnishing. Producing less particulate matter can be beneficial to indoor air quality. Fewer chemicals used The Scotch-Brite Diamond Floor Pad Plus System allows the maintenance and polishing of stone, marble and terrazzo flooring without the use of floor finishes and strippers, helping to eliminate the use of floor finish and floor stripping chemicals in a stone floor maintenance program. Environmental Leadership and Safety 3M sustainability includes developing new products through a Life Cycle Management (LCM) process. LCM includes a comprehensive review of a product s potential health, safety, environmental and regulatory impact throughout its lifetime. 3M professional technical experts specialists in toxicology, industrial hygiene, environmental engineering, product stewardship and product safety all participate in the LCM process. As a result, 3M stands behind its floor pads and other products for performance, safety, minimizing environmental impact and general customer satisfaction. 3M Packaging As part of an environmental stewardship in packaging, 3M Floor Pad packaging consists of 75 to 100 percent recycled material and the packaging is 100 percent recyclable. Additionally, 3M packaging engineers have worked to keep the packaging material as light as possible reducing overall product packaging. Operational Excellence 3M Floor Pad manufacturing facilities operate under a philosophy of operational excellence and continuous improvement. Since 2004, our floor pad manufacturing has made continuous strides to further reduce our environmental impact. Some of these improvements include: More efficient manufacturing equipment resulting in 30% reduction in air emissions Improved ability to use manufacturing by-products and recycle them into our process rather than dispose of in landfill Product technology breakthroughs that have reduced volatile organic compound usage in the manufacturing process Our US floor pad manufacturing site is an EPA Performance Track Facility* * How to reach us: For supporting technical data, please refer to Technical Bulletin ( ).
