3M™ Copper Roofing Granules are the key ingredient used in shingles featuring Scotchgard Protector that protect against black streaks.
3M Industrial Mineral Products has four plants conveniently located across the United States to better serve our manufacturing customers. Our plants support both bulk rail and bulk truck shipping, with super sack bagging at some locations for smaller quantities.
In this video Randy Morgan, National Account Director for Industrial Minerals, takes us on a tour through the 3M Roofing Innovation Center where we help manufacturers develop and test shingle color blends.
This process allows manufacturers to easily see what a color would look like on a roof. Taking a mere 20-30 minutes for the center to complete; manufacturers benefit from quick, simple and realistic color examples without tying up their own production lines for testing.
