3M continues to make the plastic repair process quicker and easier for bodyshop with the upgrading of its Plastic Repair Kit which includes the addition of a new 3M Superfast Black Adhesive. The technology giant has also introduced a new Plastic Repair Solutions booklet which contains full details of the 3M Plastics repair range as well as information on how to achieve the perfect finish.

3M prides itself on delivering high quality cost effective solutions to refinish end users. It does this by not only drawing on its vast research and development resources, but also by staying very close to the market, developing a genuine understanding of changing user needs and developing effective product and process solutions to meet these needs.

The latest Plastic Repair Kit is just one example of the innovative product solutions that can be found in the extensive 3M range which covers each stage of the collision repair process.

Differing plastics and different types of damage require specific repair processes and products to achieve the best repair results. 3M can draw on its unique understanding of plastics and how their composition affects the repair process in order to offer bodyshop the most suitable, efficient and cost effective repair solution for different types of plastic repair.

The repair rather than replacement of plastic parts often offers a more economical and convenient solution for bodyshops with a huge potential for cost saving. As bodyshop profit margins continue to be squeezed, effective plastic repair is often a good means of boosting job margins, while still maintaining the highest standard of workmanship. 

3M’s Plastic Repair Kit provides everything required for seamless fixing of cracks, holes and tears in automotive plastic parts. It includes clear and now black superfast adhesive which make repairing tabs or lugs exceptionally quick and easy. Also in the kit is the innovative Instant Plastic Repair Patch. This provides fantastic instant stability without waiting for products to cure and is perfect for plastic bumpers. The kit also includes nozzles, applicators and a Polyolefin Adhesion Promoter.

The new kit comes in a tough plastic case for convenient product storage and easy selection. It is now available from 3M stockists nationwide. For a free copy of the 3M Plastic Repair Solutions booklet call 3M AAD Division on 01-280-3555, or go to 3M.co.uk/bodyshop to download a digital version.
