3M Smog-reducing Granules
3M™ Smog-Reducing Granules give manufacturers the ability to incorporate smog-reducing technology into roofing materials, helping transform shingles and capsheets into surfaces that can actively reduce air pollutants. Activated by sunlight, the specialized granules transform smog pollutants that come into contact with the roof into water-soluble ions. For contractors, this technology creates an opportunity to bring sustainability into the roofing conversation while offering customers another way to consider the environmental impact of their roofing system.
