[edit] Passive Fire Protection

For reference to 3M's passive fire protection products, see http://www.mmm.com/firestop . 3M uses its own brand of sodium silicate, called "Expantrol", as an active ingredient in a variety of firestops, including its CP25 caulking, FS195 wrap strip, CS195 intumescent sheet and more. 3M also offers endothermic wrapping to preserve the operability of electrical circuits while exposed to fire. 3M's fire barrier mortar offers the best bounding in the business, with certified repair procedures using "itself" as well as 3M's intumescent caulking and putty. Their main man behind this is now retired, one Mr. Richard Licht, who testified in front of US Congress in the Thermo-lag 330-1 scandal that brought to light the US nuclear industry's acceptance of bounding without mandatory product certification.--Achim 00:09, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I've just restructure the 3M article slightly. I also added a major products and technology section. If you think the above is worth adding to this section, go for it. IMHO, I think it is, but do not know the topic well enough to write about it in an encyclopeadic fashion. Anubis1975 02:02, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
