Plastic Abrasive 40/60 mesh

Low-Aggression Stripping for Sensitive Substrates

The 40/60 mesh particle size offers an optimal balance between stripping speed and surface finish control. Its angular shape provides a consistent, mild cutting action that effectively removes coatings layer-by-layer without generating excessive heat, warping thin metals, or etching soft substrates like aluminum, fiberglass, and carbon fiber composites.

This media is widely specified for air-blast and direct-pressure systems in aerospace MRO, automotive restoration, electronics manufacturing, and fiberglass mold maintenance. It is a clean, silica-free, and recyclable alternative to chemical strippers and aggressive mineral abrasives.

Key Performance Characteristics

• Material: Urea-formaldehyde thermoset resin, ensuring consistent hardness and low friability for multiple re-use cycles.
• Aggression Level: Low. Designed to protect anodized coatings, clad aluminum, thin-gauge metals, and advanced composites.
• Particle Shape: Angular, for a controlled, uniform stripping profile.
• Dust Generation: Low, compared to mineral abrasives, improving operator visibility and reducing cleanup.
• Recyclability: High. The durable resin withstands multiple impact cycles, lowering media consumption and cost per square foot stripped.

Typical Applications

This 40/60 mesh grade is the workhorse of plastic media blasting. Common uses include:

• Aerospace MRO: Stripping paint and primers from aircraft skins, flight control surfaces, and landing gear components without peening or metal removal.
• Automotive Restoration: Removing body filler, paint, and undercoating from classic car panels and alloy wheels without heat distortion.
• Composites Manufacturing: Surface preparation of fiberglass, carbon fiber, and Kevlar parts for bonding or repainting.
• Electronics & Tooling: Cleaning delicate molds, dies, and electronic encapsulation without dimensional change.
