Protecting Lives for More Than 35 Years
In 1974, the movie Towering Inferno (produced by Irwin Allen) sparked the imagination of Richard Licht, a 3M product developer who passionately believed 3M technologies could be used to improve the safety of multi-story buildings. Several devastating fires — including the 1980 MGM Grand Hotel fire that killed 84 people and injured 679 — inspired Licht to develop the first firestop products based on existing 3M intumescent technology.
