What’s a better
finish worth?
Customers are impressed with the
performance of 3M
™
Trizact
™
Abrasives
and have realized efficiencies and
benefits that extend far beyond
increased abrasive life. In fact, 89%
report the number-one reason they
purchase Trizact abrasives is the
finish they get.
Here’s how Trizact abrasives have
helped customers develop more
efficient manufacturing processes:
• Reduce rejects. Trizact abrasives
finer, more consistent finish cut the
reject rate of an electroplating job-
shop from 22% of parts to only
7% of parts.
• Increase labor productivity. An
automotive component manufacturer
experienced a 50% rise in parts
finished per worker, since Trizact
abrasives cut faster and eliminated
several process steps.
• Improve capital equipment
productivity. After switching to
Trizact abrasives, a stainless steel
fabricator produced parts in half as
many steps as before, doubling
output and eliminating a nagging
production bottleneck.
Each of these companies realized
these benefits with no incremental
investment in plant, personnel
or equipment.
