3M™ Dirt Trap Protection Material is a specially engineered adhesive-backed white material designed to trap dust, dirt and overspray and protect spray booth walls and floors in professional facilities such as automotive refinishing, architectural, industrial, sign shops, woodworking, furniture refinishing, and cabinet making. The bright white material brightens paint areas which improves visibility for color matching and coverage. When used for surface protection, the bright white material can make it easier to find dropped nuts, bolts, and hardware.

A related product, 3M™ Dirt Trap Protection Film (sold separately) is an adhesive-backed clear film designed to protect lights, windows, and other surfaces from overspray buildup. No more scraping and cleaning--simply peel off old film and re-apply new film.

• Traps dust and dirt in painting and traffic areas to minimize labor-intensive cleanup
• Reduces spray booth cleanup and maintenance
• Traps dust, dirt and overspray in spray areas for a cleaner finish
• Protects surfaces during manufacture and repair
• Easy to apply and remove
• Withstands repeated bakes of up to 180°

Easy Application

The unique adhesive formulation effectively adheres to properly prepared walls and floors and is easily re-positioned during application. This low tack adhesive allows for easy application and clean removal of the film. The introductory kit includes a metal dispenser for easy application of 3M Dirt Trap Material and a metal dispenser for easy application of the Dirt Trap Clear Film. The dispenser is designed with high strength magnets that secure the dispenser on a vertical metal surface while Dirt Trap Material is dispensed and applied. (Please see instructions for proper safe mounting and usage instructions.)

Protection Through Science and Technology

Not only is the 3M Dirt Trap Protection System great for surface protection, but a closer look reveals a breakthrough innovation that actually traps dust, dirt and overspray in a unique non-woven construction. The material also traps falling debris (metal shavings, sanding dust, etc.) and reduces cleanup in gaps and crevices when used for temporary surface protection.

Traps Dirt, Protects Profits

Increase spray booth utilization and productivity by reducing daily and periodic maintenance. When airborne contaminants settle on freshly coated surfaces, it creates an extra step of buffing to prepare the finish to meet the customer's expectations, which can negatively affect throughput and profitability.

3M Dirt Trap Protection Material is especially effective when used with waterborne paints and coatings, since these coatings require more airflow to accelerate dry time. This increased airflow can result in more airborne dust and dirt. 3M Dirt Trap Protection Material helps trap these airborne contaminants and keep them away from your freshly finished surface.

Protect Your Investment

A spray booth can be one of the largest investments in a shop. Keeping this asset in top working condition requires continual maintenance. The tasks of cleaning, scraping, and re-painting take away from valuable production time. This material eliminates the need for repeated washing which introduces moisture, and promotes premature rust and corrosion. The 3M Dirt Trap Protection System minimizes booth maintenance time and helps keep this valuable piece of equipment in top working condition. 3M Dirt Trap Protection Material can also be used as a temporary surface protection method for other areas in the facility such as: table tops, paint scales, paint mixing room walls and floors, prep bay areas, etc.

Facilities Protection and Safety

3M Dirt Trap Material can help protect both your facilities and workers in several ways: provides traction on smooth floor surfaces to help prevent slipping, promotes worker safety through reduced chemicals used in work area cleaning, protects surfaces during assembly, repair, manufacturing, or maintenance.
