Plastic Media Type III 60/80 mesh

Why Type III Urea Plastic Media?

Type III plastic media is formulated from urea resin, striking a critical balance between cutting action and substrate preservation. Unlike Type I (polyester) or Type II (acrylic), Type III is specifically engineered for applications where coating hardness is low and base material integrity is paramount. It is the industry standard for removing paint from aluminum aircraft skins, stripping powder coat from thin-gauge metals, and cleaning molds without dimensional change.

The 60/80 mesh size offers a fine, controlled particle distribution. This grade is ideal for achieving a uniform surface profile on delicate parts, providing enough impact energy to lift coatings while minimizing embedment and dust generation. Operators can expect reduced rework and lower scrap rates compared to harsher media.

Process Compatibility & Performance

This media is optimized for dry, low-pressure blasting systems, typically in the 20–40 PSI range. It performs exceptionally well in both direct-pressure and suction-feed cabinets, as well as walk-in blast rooms. Key performance characteristics include:

• Low substrate stress: Effectively removes paint, primer, and light oxidation from aluminum, magnesium, thin steel, fiberglass, and carbon fiber composites.
• High recyclability: Urea plastic media withstands multiple impact cycles before fracturing, reducing media consumption and waste disposal costs.
• Dust control: Produces minimal fine dust compared to mineral abrasives, improving operator visibility and reducing filtration load.

Selection & Handling Tips

Selecting the correct mesh size is critical. The 60/80 mesh is your go-to for fine finishing and thin coating removal. If you are working with thicker, more tenacious coatings, a coarser grade like 20/30 or 30/40 may be more efficient. SPA2Z can help you match the media to your blasting parameters and coating system.

Store plastic media in a dry, covered environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause clumping and inconsistent feed. Always screen reclaimed media to remove fines and contaminants, ensuring consistent performance across cycles.
