Authors Abstract
Content
Plastic Media Blasting (“PMB”) is a revolutionary method for the rapid and safe removal of primer, paint and even powder and other chemically resistant coatings from a vast range of products without the use of toxic chemicals or pneumatic blasting with hard abrasives. Although resembling sandblasting, PMB does not use the hard abrasives or high pressures of that process. Instead, PMB uses reusable-plastic particles which are applied at pressures of 20 to 40 psi. The unique abrasive blast media not only replaces potentially hazardous abrasives such as silica sand, but since it is reusable it also generates less overall waste material.
