The following comments about the quality and importance of this article have been left: (edit – history – watch – refresh) This article reads like a public relations brochure. Frequent laudatory references to 3M's alleged ingenuity and commitment to the scientific method, with no section on criticism.Tlechterman 06:16, 27 July 2007 (UTC) |

[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)
[edit] Magnetic Recording Tape
There is no mention within the 3M article of the 3M/Scotch line of professional 2-inch magnetic recording tape. I don't have sufficient historical knowledge of these products at my disposal; however, 3M does hold an important place in the development of magnetic recording tape, and so should be indicated as such. ````--Defone 09:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] PFC Controversy
My school is currently in the middle of a project about 3M's production of carcinogenic perfluorocarbons. This controversy has been in the local newspapers for the past year. Why is there no section of the article exploring this issue? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.144.36.137 (talk) 19:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
