Plastic media is used to strip delicate surfaces of their existing coating. Plastic abrasives deliver a high stripping rate and consistent performance, ideal for paint stripping, mold cleaning, deflashing and deburring.
The use of plastic abrasives has proven to be faster, less damaging to the substrate and much less expensive than wet chemicals. Since the plastic abrasive is harder than the coatings to be removed, yet softer than the substrate, coatings can actually be stripped three or four times without damage to the surface.
