Plastic Abrasives

Plastic abrasives were originally developed for the aerospace industry. They are used for the cleaning or paint stripping of surfaces, without changing the treated substrate 

• Reusable abrasive, fine abrasive, wet abrasive, dry abrasive
• Deburring
• Paint stripping
• Surface cleaning without loss of substance 

• Pressure blast systems
• Injector blast cabinets
• Wheel blasting systems (wear protection recommended) 

• Hardness TYPE II Barcol 54 – 65 (3.5 mohs)
• Hardness TYPE III Barcol 64 – 72 (4.0 mohs)
• Hardness TYPE V Barcol 46 – 54 (3.2 – 3.5 mohs) 
• Grain shape: angular 
• Melting point: < 500°C 
• Specific gravity: approx. 1.5 g/cm3 
• Bulk density*: approx. 0.8 – 0.9 g/cm3 
• Plastics from: Urea, melamine and acrylic 

*depending on granular size 

For safety reasons, we recommend that you use a protective strainer when filling the blasting equipment.
