For quick and cost-effective paint removal, blast cleaning, deflashing, and deburring, plastic abrasives come in five hardness grades. Plastic Blast Media produces outstanding cutting results without marring or harming even the most delicate surfaces. Anti-slip fillers made of plastic abrasives are extensively used in paints, flooring, varnishes, and non-skid aggregate compositions. Operators can remove paint and coatings from aluminum and steel using plastic media without warping, marring, or pitting the surfaces, or compromising mechanical functions, bearings, or seals. Surfaces are scraped smooth for new paint and coating applications after using plastic media. When employing acceptable blast parameters, hard abrasives such as sand, steel shot, and aluminum oxide can damage surfaces; however, plastic blast media offers excellent alternatives for effective paint removal without hurting even delicate surfaces.

Types of Plastic Media Abrasive
All the types of plastic media abrasives are mentioned below:
TYPE II UREA
The most versatile plastic abrasive for stripping paint and removing coatings from cars, aircraft, trucks, trailers, trains, vans, buses, and steel is Type II Urea media. Composition Materials has been custom manufacturing plastic media abrasives from 100% recycled raw materials for low-cost, ecologically friendly paint removal with rapid cutting action for more than 30 years. Urea plastic blast media is available in a variety of sizes, ranging from coarse to fine, as well as bespoke sizing. Optimal blast parameters (psi and nozzle distance) ensure the greatest results while blasting. Urea abrasives and powders are also good filler materials for a range of industries. Urea media is strong, long-lasting, light, and manufactured entirely of recycled materials. Paint additives, texturing, thickening, and anti-slip particles are all examples of filler applications.

TYPE VI CLEAR-CUT
Type VI protects the surface profile of sensitive parts, fiberglass, composites, plastics, anilox rolls, and Corvettes during blasting operations. All standard sizes are available. This clear-white abrasive works well as a filler and additive in resin, epoxy, urethane, and counter-tops, as well as a durable non-skid aggregate in flooring, paints, and coatings. We offer a wide range of standard sizes, from coarse granular to superfine powders, as well as custom sizing.

TYPE V ACRYLIC
Acrylic Blast Media is recommended for stripping paint and coatings from cars, aircraft, trucks, tractors, rail cars, vans, motor homes, and marine vessels because it is softer than Urea or Melamine. Acrylic is a versatile, long-lasting blasting media that produces effective effects on softer substrates and materials. Acrylic abrasives are also available for use as a lightweight filler and aggregate. All regular sizes are available.

Characteristics of Plastic Media Abrasive
- Angular, Lightweight Material- Plastic media is an angular, lightweight substance that comes in a variety of hardness levels to satisfy a variety of metal finishing needs. This makes it suitable for removing organic coatings without harming the surface of the underlying component.
- A Preferred Choice for Stripping- For stripping and cleaning applications involving aluminum composites and other fragile materials, plastic is the preferred material.
- High-Velocity Applications- Because the plastic particles are small in weight, the plastic media blasting equipment can apply the material at a high velocity without adding substantial bulk, allowing for a very quick stripping operation.
Applications of Plastic Media Abrasive
- Automotive
- Aviation
- Boating
- Burr Removal
- Composites
- Deflashing
- Die Castings
- Engines
- Maintenance
- Molds
- Plastic Parts
