About 3M™

The original window film and still the most innovative and reliable

In 1966, 3M invented window film and received the very first window film patent. Since then, many film technologies have been patented by 3M and the company remains the only window film manufacturer to produce its own polyesters and adhesives. In fact, due to 3M's ability to develop multiple layer micro thin polyester films, their films are able to outperform all others of similar thickness.

Innovations including films with insulation properties and films for plastic glazing have continued to rank 3M as the technology leader in the commercial, government, institutional, and residential markets.

3M is also a world leader in adhesive technologies with their unique properties specific to window film being a combination of fast drying, superior optical clarity, long-lasting bonding, and simple removal.
