Poly (plastic) Media Blasting
POLYEXTRA® - Type I
Manufactured from polyester, this media is custom designed for use in soft abrasive finishing deflashing operations, where maintenance of surface tolerance is of the utmost concern, and the integrity of the substrate cannot be compromised. Surface contamination is removed with no distortion or harm occurring to the base material. POLYEXTRA® is uniform and reusable from application to application in contrast to agricultural media, which often varies from one lot to another.
POLYPLUS® - Type II
Manufactured from urea, this media is more aggressive than POLYEXTRA® and POLY V® and applicable for a great variety of light industrial cleaning requirements. POLYPLUS® is designed to be used at low pressure settings between 15 to 45 psi. It's fast and efficient, yet not damaging for most finishing applications. POLYPLUS® is a cost effective replacement for chemical stripping operations and makes a superb paint remover. It can reduce, if not totally eliminate, chemical consumption.
POLYHARD® - TYPE III
Manufactured from melamine, this media is the most aggressive formulation of POLYMEDIA®. It is formulated to be fast acting and approaches hard abrasives in surface finishing capabilities. TYPE III is not harmful to blast cleaning equipment or cabinetry despite its high degree of aggression. It does not wear out tooling. Substantial savings are realized by eliminating the need to purchase expensive replacement parts. This media offers a fast, cost effective alternative to other removal methods.
POLY V® - Type V
This media is manufactured from acrylic and is designed to solve today's coating removal and surface preparation problems. POLY V® is custom engineered to provide rapid coating removal, minimal substrate abrasion, and high reusability. POLY V® combines the characteristics of durability, gentleness and speed which translates into a low cost alternative to chemical stripping and sanding of products. The durability of this product translates into lower media consumption and less dust when blasting. This non-hazardous material may be obtained in Mil-Spec grade which meets the requirements for MIL-P-85891(A). It is specifically designed to remove coatings from most sheet aluminum, fiberglass, and composite surfaces as well as to deburr plastics, ceramics, and soft metals.
