Plasti-Grit® Plastic Media is manufactured in 5 Grades of Hardness for effective stripping solutions on steel, aluminum, fiberglass and composites, across a wide range of coatings including powder coatings, epoxy and enamel. Plasti-Grit® Plastic Blast Media meets the requirements of MIL-P-85891 and is approved for use by the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force.
Standard & Specialized Mesh Sizes
Plasti-Grit® Plastic Blast Media is manufactured in 5 Hardness Grades & 5 standard Mesh Sizes; specialty sizes available on request.
TYPE I: Polyester
3 MOH Hardness, softest type Selected applications: Electronics: light deflashing and deburring of encapsulated circuits. Soft metals and fiberglass: paint, primer and contamination stripping.
TYPE II: Urea
3.5 MOH Hardness; most heavily used type; significantly more aggressive than Type 1. Selected applications: Fastest practical media for stripping aircraft, trucks, trailers, tractors, rail cars, vans, motor homes, marine vessels, cars, buses. Approved by U.S. Air Force for stripping air frames.
TYPE III: Melamine
4 MOH Hardness; most aggressive, fastest-acting type. Replaces glass beads and other harsh abrasives. Selected applications: Mold cleaning; difficult-to-remove paints and primers from hard materials such as engine parts, turbine blades, molds.
TYPE V: Acrylic
3.2-3.5 MOH Hardness; longest lasting type. Selected applications: For stripping aircraft structures, trucks, trailers, tractors, rail cars, vans, motor homes, marine vessels, cars, buses. Considerably “more forgiving” in hands of operator.
TYPE VI: Clear-Cut®
3 MOH Hardness Selected applications: Outstandingly effective for paint stripping of Corvettes and other composites; also preserves surface profile of delicate metal parts.
