Type V (Acrylic) Plastic Media is mildly abrasive, angular, granular plastic cleaning media suitable for dry-blasting systems.
The material allows the controlled cleaning of such mediums as:
- Fiberglass
- Aircraft components (wheels, brakes, radar cone, landing gear)
- Deburring steel, aluminium and zinc parts.
- Soft metals
- Thin aluminium and composites
Industries using this medium include the automotive, electronic and industrial areas, but the main use is in the aerospace industry.
Other usages :
- Military equipment
- Automotive
This media is even less abrasive than type II media, but has a similar low density which ensures minimal effect on the substrate and allows soft alloys, plastic composites etc., to be cleaned or stripped without the need to resort to the time-consuming and environmentally undesirable solvent or chemical cleaning.
To ensure optimum cleaning and recyclability, it is recommended the user employs low pressures – typically 15-40 psi (1-3 bar). This increased efficiency, combined with lower pressures leads to improved productivity.
