3M Applying

When facing global challenges, people turn to science. At 3M, we apply science in collaborative ways to improve lives daily.

The 3M PPS (Paint Preparation System) is a unique, closed paint system that eliminates the need for separate mixing cups and filters. Instead, paint is mixed in a liner bag which marries to a direct filter and is then mounted on the spray gun with a dedicated adapter. As freshly filtered paint is dispensed, the liner bag collapses, allowing the spray gun to function at any angle. The liner bag and filter are disposable, leaving only the spray gun and adapter to be cleaned. The 3M PPS Paint Preparation system is a cleaner, faster system, safe from outside contamination, and offers considerable time and solvent savings on gun and parts cleaning.
