PLASTIC Blast MEDIA
Trust the industry leader, Advanced Deburring & Finishing when you need help choosing or understanding the ideal applications of plastic media for vibratory or surface finishing.
Plastic Blast Media Applications
Using plastic blast media is becoming extremely popular for paint stripping, particularly in the aviation and automotive industry. All of the sheet metal used in today’s automobiles have a specified surface finish, which must be maintained for parts such as fenders, hoods and other parts of the automobile body component pieces. There are four different sizes from fine to aggressive with different Rockwell Hardness.
Plastic abrasive provides the perfect media for this situation, it is harder than the paint you may wish to remove but softer than the metal itself. Such qualities allow this type of media to easily and safely shear the paint off without damaging the part when it’s used with the proper finishing equipment.
PLASTIC Media & SYNTHETIC Blasting MEDIA
At Advanced Deburring & Finishing, we’ll be happy to provide you with a variety of media for your finishing machines, including high-quality plastic media. Our plastic media provides the performance you require for vibratory applications. Plastic media has been with us since the beginning, but there is more foam and processing concerns where residues must be rinsed off after the deburring step. Synthetic blasting media is newer than plastic media and has less foam in the running process, but it has a little bit slower cycle time because of the breakdown rate. There are two bonds available and the many different media styles or shapes are provided in both bonds. Synthetic blasting media sells more today than the plastic media variety.
You can choose from the following plastic and synthetic blasting media. Or, you can get in touch with us directly for further guidance. We Sell The System — not just products.
