Plastic Media Stripping for Automotive Restoration

Vehicles are now made up of more types of substrates than ever before. For efficient coatings removal before new paint is applied, Plastic Media Blasting--using the appropriate plastic media and equipment--is considered the method of choice for safe, rapid and economic removal of coatings. Steer clear of chemical strippers, sandblasting, hand abrasion or other hit-and-miss types of stripping. Learn how to preserve the surface integrity of your vehicle!

Plastic Media Blasting for the Removal of Powder Coatings

The newer durable finishes for many commercial and industrial parts have been almost impossible to remove without causing irreparable damage to structural properties. As well as severe environmental problems. However, all that has changed in the past 10 years with the advent of Plastic Media Blasting (PMB) with recyclable Plastic Grit media. Capable of retaining substrate integrity, PMB has saved hundreds of thousands of fragile components from the scrap heap.

Stripping Organic Coatings

For safe removal of product finishes, the major question is: "How best to remove coatings without damaging fragile substrates?" Exploring all currently available stripping techniques, this article--reprinted from Products Finishing 1997 Directory--features Plastic Media Blasting for surface preservation.
