Plastic Media Type II 46 mesh

Precision Stripping with Thermoset Plastic Media

This Type II, 46 mesh plastic media is manufactured from a rigid thermoset resin, cut into angular strips for consistent, high-impact cleaning. The 46 mesh particle size (approximately 350 microns) balances rapid coating removal with a fine, uniform surface finish. It is the go-to choice for stripping aircraft skins, removing powder coat from automotive wheels, and cleaning composite molds where substrate integrity is non-negotiable.

How It Works in Your Blast System

Plastic Media Type II is designed for use in dry, high-pressure air blasting systems or direct-pressure wheel blast machines. The angular particles strike the surface, fracturing the coating bond without generating excessive heat or embedding in the substrate. Its low hardness relative to metals prevents dimensional changes, making it safe for aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and advanced composites. Proper dust collection and media reclamation systems can recycle this media multiple times, reducing overall consumption and waste.

Key Selection and Handling Tips

Always confirm the substrate material and coating type before selecting mesh size. For thin-skinned aircraft aluminum, 46 mesh offers an excellent balance of speed and profile control. Start with a low blast pressure (30-40 PSI) and adjust upward only as needed. Store media in a dry environment to prevent clumping and ensure consistent flow through metering valves. SPA2Z can advise on compatibility with your existing blast equipment and help you optimize media consumption.
