Urea (Type II) Plastic Abrasive Grit
Urea (Type II) Plastic Abrasive Grit is the most heavily used plastic media. Urea Plastic Abrasive Grit is used for applications such as auto and aircraft restoration to deliver an efficient strip rate without damage or warping of the substrate surface.
Urea (Type II) Plastic Abrasive Grit
Urea Plastic Blast Media is a plastic grain stripping abrasive used in sandblasting operations. It is the most widely used plastic media. Urea Plastic Abrasive Grit is environmentally friendly and recyclable – an alternative to chemical stripping. It’s clean, it’s consistent, and it’s the most widely used plastic media for a reason. Urea Plastic Abrasive Grit is formulated to meet an increased level of stripping performance where stripping speed outweighs other considerations. Urea Plastic Abrasive Grit is able to strip tough coatings with an impressive strip rate. Urea Plastic Abrasive Grit is typically used for less sensitive applications.
