Did you know that 3M Anti-fatigue mats have been demonstrated to reduce lower back and lower extremity discomfort and reduce standing worker fatigue. These mats use a coiled spring and an integrated “Z” polymetric construction to provide the anti-fatigue properties.

For more information about 3M Anti-fatigue mats, or for sales, services and solutions that are second-to-none, visit Adhere Distributors in person or on-line at www.adheredist.com.

Nowadays, with the emphasis on being green in the building industry, it’s difficult to figure out what products you can trust to be truly eco-friendly and safe. Fortunately, 3M is making it a lot easier to be green with their 3M GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified adhesives.

The GREENGUARD designation means that these products meet rigorous standards for low-emitting materials; standards that are based on industry-independent, third-party testing. GREENGUARD’s highest certification is the GREENGUARD Children & School standard and 3M has six adhesives that are certified at this level:

3M Scotch-Weld Cylinder Spray adhesive 94CA (solvent–based)
3M Fastbond Foam Adhesive 100 (water-based)
3M Fastbond Pressure Sensitive Adhesive 4224NF (water-based)
3M Fastbond Insulation Adhesive 49 (water-based)
3M Fastbond Contact Adhesive 30NF/30H (water-based)
3M Fastbond Contact Adhesive 2000NF (water-based)

GREENGUARD, low-VOC adhesives, provides the obvious health and workplace benefits for you, your employees and your clients. But, they also provide you great bottom-line benefits: fewer transport restrictions and reduced flammability for the water-based products, fewer controlled substances to worry about, and an eco-friendly image in the community. It’s not easy being green, but 3M is making a whole lot easier.

Low pressure air delivery – Using ambient air, low pressure air delivery pumps supply air directly to workers.
Cylinder or bottled air delivery – Also a high pressure system, cylinder air is used when plant air is not available.

Also available are purification panels - mounted and portable -to remove contaminants from the air to supply a clean and safe supply of air to workers. All panels come with carbon monoxide filters and monitors.
