Plastic Media Type V 40/60 mesh

Acrylic Blast Media for Sensitive Substrate Stripping

Type V acrylic media is a non-aggressive, recyclable abrasive that removes paints, primers, and coatings without etching, warping, or pitting the underlying surface. The 40/60 mesh size offers an optimal balance between coating removal rate and surface finish, making it suitable for both manual suction blasting cabinets and pressure-fed blast rooms.

Unlike mineral abrasives that embed or fracture on impact, Type V plastic particles absorb energy and wear down gradually. This controlled breakdown allows for multiple reuse cycles, reducing media consumption and waste disposal costs over the life of a project. Operators working on thin-skinned aluminum, advanced composites, or fiberglass consistently choose this media to avoid costly rework.

Key Performance Characteristics

• Substrate-safe stripping: Removes coatings without damaging anodized layers, clad aluminum, or composite matrices.
• High recyclability: Durable acrylic formulation withstands multiple impact cycles before fracturing, lowering per-square-foot media cost.
• Consistent particle distribution: Tight 40/60 mesh sizing ensures uniform nozzle flow and predictable surface profile results.
• Low dust generation: Clean breakdown characteristics minimize airborne fines, improving operator visibility and reducing dust collection load.

Typical Applications for 40/60 Mesh Type V

This specific grade is selected when coating thickness is moderate and surface finish requirements are tight. Common use cases include:

• Aerospace MRO: Stripping airframe skins, control surfaces, radomes, and composite fairings during scheduled maintenance.
• Composite repair: Preparing carbon fiber and fiberglass laminates for bonding or repainting without fiber damage.
• Mold cleaning: Removing release agents and resin buildup from precision molds used in rubber, plastic, and composite manufacturing.
• Electronics and delicate assemblies: Cleaning conformal coatings from circuit boards and sensitive components where mechanical abrasion is unacceptable.

Pack Options and Supply Flexibility

SPA2Z understands that blasting operations vary in scale. We offer flexible packaging to match your consumption rate and storage capabilities:
