Plastic Media Type III 16 mesh

Precision Stripping for Sensitive Substrates

Type III plastic media is the go-to solution when you need to remove paint, powder coating, or conformal coatings from aluminum, composites, fiberglass, and thin-gauge metals. Its angular particle shape provides a controlled cutting action, while the urea-based formulation is significantly softer than aluminum oxide or garnet. This prevents warping, pitting, and surface stress, preserving the fatigue life of critical components.

At 16 mesh, this grade offers a balanced profile suitable for medium-duty stripping tasks where a fine finish is required but a coarser 12 mesh would be too aggressive. It is commonly used in pressure-pot and suction-blast systems.

Key Performance Characteristics

• Material: Urea-formaldehyde thermoset resin, Type III.
• Hardness: Mohs 3.0-4.0, significantly softer than mineral abrasives.
• Particle Shape: Angular, providing effective coating removal without embedding.
• Dust Profile: Low free-silica content; generates a moderate amount of reusable dust.
• Recyclability: High. Media can be recycled multiple times in controlled blasting environments, reducing overall consumption cost.
