If you analyze the depth of 3M’s product line this statistic starts to seem to believable. 3M has become the Google of manufacturing through science and innovation. Their ability to provide unique, as well as standard, solutions makes them a key partner in their latest project, the new U.S. Bank stadium. At any point in the Minneapolis football arena, where the new crowds will form, 3M products are close by.
Specifically speaking, one of the new innovations of the stadium is its transparent roof. Its goal being to deliver an open air natural light experience while still being functional in the northern environment.
“The stadium’s 248,000-square-foot roof and facade is covered by 75 three-layer ETFE film cushions, making U.S. Bank Stadium the largest ETFE film project in the United States. Some of the individually air-filled cushions are more than 1,200 square feet long and about 32 feet wide. The top film is printed with a geometric pattern, which scatters the sunlight and prevents a greenhouse effect in summer. In winter, the film roof protects the interior from the cold outside temperatures.”
-3M Press Release
Vikings fans will see 3M technology nearly everywhere they look inside the stadium – from the graphic films and DI-NOC Architectural finishes in concessions, to the Fluoroplastic ETFE on the clear, lightweight and self-cleaning roof constructed by Vector Foiltec with film manufactured from 3M Dyneon Fluoroplastic ETFE by NOWOFOL Kunststoffprodukte GmbH. Even during construction, 3M technology helped builders stay safe through personal safety products like eye wear, helmets and hearing protection. 3M fire barrier products will also protect the stadium for years to come.
