So this is the 3M van, it's basically a mobile exhibit unit and it allows us to showcase
the different 3M solutions and adhesive technologies that we have for the graphics and signage
industry and we've been travelling across country for some time now, visiting different customers at their locations, where we can
showcase those 3M solutions to them.
I'm real excited today because we're going to visit Autokloak which is a startup business
focusing on vehicle wraps, but they also do some other graphics as well.
So we've got a light box here, where we can demonstrate the brightness of the envision translucent solution,
either cast and colour film or a digital print.
We can actually use fewer LED elements, but achieve the same brightness as with the original film.
So, on the back of the 3M van, we've got our
print graphic with overlay of reflective, and the important thing about the reflective is it
allows us to increase the number of impressions, per vehicle, per day. This is our demonstration
of the new envision 480 film, it's a high performance film, with sustainable edge, and
it can also be used for textured surface applications, so it's very versatile. You can wrap vehicles
with it, use smooth surfaces, as well as textured which is what we can demonstrate here with
a variety of different textured surfaces. But the new 480 envision film let's us actually
install up to 50% faster. Now the other thing I want to talk about is window film applications,
our premium perforated film, the 8170-P40 for commercial vehicles wraps on curved back
windows allows you to see through. The other way you can use it is for long-term exterior
building wraps. We have the frosted, from our dusted and frosted film collection, can
actually print onto the dusted or the frosted, so it gives you some more branding and decor
options. This is our clear view IJ8150, which allows you to print images on optically clear
film, so as you can see, you can see perfectly through it and this tends to be more for longer
term decor and architectural type applications. So now what I want to talk about is not just
the film technology but actually the adhesive technology, so in this case we have our changeable
film, the IJ3552C which allows us to put graphics on short term vehicle wraps, as well as painted
interior drywall and it can be removed quickly and easily without any need for heat or special
tools. In addition to standard type things there is sometimes a requirement for specialty
applications, maybe it's a powdered coated metal, maybe its a type of plastic that a
standard film won't adhere to, but the good thing is 3M has adhesive technology for all
these different types of requirements and we use 3690 to adhere in that case. So I know
right now the main thrust of your business is colour change and customization so the
1080 product line is a great tool for you to offer a wide range of ever extending colours
and patterns to your customers and clients and we do different types of finishes, from
gloss to satin to matte as well as brushed metal and carbon fiber. Latest addition to
the 3M family is knife-less tape, which allows you to do precision cuts right on the vehicle
without using a knife blade. So the last thing I want to talk about is 3M's graffiti resistant
solution, so it's a bigger and growing challenge these days, whether it's street furniture,
signage or graphics there's a lot of tagging that goes on and we have found that being
able to keep those surfaces clean, reduces the incidence and it also lowers the cost
because you don't have to redo the graphics. So why don't you go ahead and mark up one
of the surfaces here. Alright. So, now that we've marked that up we can just use the 3M
citrus cleaner and we'll do a quick demo of how easy it is to clean it. So we can see
that it quickly and easily takes off the graffiti, restoring my graphic to the original condition.
Thanks a lot for coming by today, we appreciate it. I'm glad I hope you saw all the different
solutions that 3M can offer you and your clients. Definitely.
