Applications for Machining and Metal Working

We’re here to help. For more than 100 years, 3M Purification has partnered with our customers to develop innovative filtration and purification products to help in their processes.

Incoming Water

The source water you use in your process is not ready for prime time when it comes into your facility. It needs to be filtered to remove particles or treated to prepare it for use. The type and level of filtration needed depends on the source of your water.

3M’s filtration products help provide the particle reduction needed to provide the high-quality water for machining and metal working, and parts washing.
