3M Introduces New Cutting and Grinding Solution for Automotive Industry in the Gulf

3M™ Cubitron™ II  technology for Weld Removal, Grinding, Paint Removal and Panel Cutting/Sectioning

 3M Automotive Aftermarket Division recently launched 3M™ Cubitron™ II  technology which aims to help collision repair professionals increase productivity, reduce labor and material costs, and improve profitability. This technology is used for Weld Removal, Grinding, Paint Removal and Panel Cutting/Sectioning.

3M™ Cubitron™ II is a breakthrough technology in the cutting and grinding space of body shops. It uses nine different 3M technology platforms to create self-sharpening abrasive triangles that are designed to fracture as they wear. Cubitron™ II Cutting and Grinding solution was introduced to the Gulf region in February of this year, as part of the BodyMan program.

“In today’s world, new innovations are happening every day. At 3M, we acknowledge this reality and we strive to be as consistently prolific as we can to make an impact on everyday life,” said Tarik Abd-Rabu, Transportation Marketing Leader, 3M Gulf. “Perfect example of a new innovation that has multiple applications across many markets is Cubitron™ II. By applying it in the automotive industry, big brands can benefit from its unique features to drive greater market focus and achieve profitable local growth,” he added.

3M has a deep history in the automotive industry which goes back to over 100 years ago. In 2009, 3M reset the world’s standards for cutting speed and abrasives performance, and now every abrasive application that consists of welded metal or stainless steel – from shipbuilding, automotive, aerospace, and oil & gas, to refrigerators and food processing – is eligible for the use of Cubitron™ II.

3M recently adopted a new corporate brand platform – 3M Science. Applied to Life™ - that emphasizes how 3M’s science impacts the world. The new brand platform underscores the company’s business strategy through a creative articulation of 3M’s span across various sectors.
