Plastic bead blasting media is a lightweight abrasive blasting material. Typically, it is not as aggressive as other types of blasting media. It is available in a wide range of hardness levels, which makes it the best choice for many different jobs.
Versatility
Bead blasting media can be used in everything from mold cleaning and paint stripping to automotive and aerospace applications. It is suitable on all substrate types including:
- Aluminum
- Brass
- Composites
- Copper
- Fiberglass
- Plastic
- Rubber
- Steel, sheet metal
- Powder coating removal
Optimal Removal Without Damage
Because plastic bead blasting media is so lightweight, it can be used at a high velocity that drastically increases the speed of the stripping process. This type of media is the best to use when you need to remove unwanted coatings or materials without causing any damage to the surface underneath, including soft, delicate substrates.
Plastic bead blasting media is used with dry blasting, which means that you do not have to worry about warping or rust. Whether you need to remove sealants, paint, powder coating, or mold, plastic bead blasting media is the most durable and cost-effective option.
Applications where plastic bead blasting media is a great choice include:
- Boat blasting, fiberglass hull blasting
- Burr removal
- Deflashing
- Die-castings
- Cleaning aircraft crankcases
- Maintenance
- Molds
- Plastic parts
- Automobile parts
- Displays at museums, national parks, etc.
- Screw, mold, die cleaning
- Electronic components
Plastic bead blasting media provides an excellent alternative to hard abrasives and chemical stripping. Best of all, they can be reclaimed several times, which means they offer excellent cost benefits as well.
