Type V Acrylic plastic blast media from Opti-Blast has a Barcol hardness of 46-54, and is especially suited for a broad range of applications that require high stripping rates coupled with the need to insure surface integrity. Opti-Blast Type V (T-5) media meets or exceeds the requirements set forth in MIL-P-85891A.
T-5 is MIL-SPEC approved MIL-P-85891A acrylic blast media.
Opti-Blast Type V blast media id ideal for aircraft components. It is also excellent for powder coating removal from pultruded aluminum parts, thin fiberglass components, thin gauge metals, and aircraft components.
Opti-Blast acrylic plastic blast media are manufactured with the strictest quality control standards in the industry. It is proven safe and economical for removal of paint, primer, and other protective surface coatings from a wide range of products.
Opti-Blast Type V (T-5) Acrylic plastic blast media is a superior replacement for for stripping and cleaning operations currently using chemical strippers, high pressure blasting with harsh abrasives or hand and mechanical sanding for coatings removal. Opti-Blast Type V (T-5) Acrylic plastic blast media consists of soft, reusable plastic particles applied at low pressure, resulting in optimum performance for a variety of coating removal needs.
Comparing The Types:
- Type V (Acrylic) = Softest, Lowest-impact
- Type II (Urea) = Medium Hardness
- Type III (Melamine) = Harder, more aggressive.
Benefits:
- Efficient - allows for faster and more consistent stripping rates.
- Non-hazardous - eliminates volatile, toxic chemicals from work areas.
- Precision - allows for versatile operator control and application.
- Surface Integrity - provides optimum substrate protection without pitting or erosion.
- Multi-Use - can be recycled for multiple reuse.
- Economical - reduces the cost of manpower, material and waste disposal; increases productivity.
- Versatile - can be effectively used in an unlimited range of applications.
- Equipment - minimizes equipment wear and maintenance.
Applications:
- Stripping coatings from aircraft components
- Blasting aluminum and thin metals
- Cleaning fiberglass, composites, and plastics
- Removing coatings without changing dimensions or profiles
- Deburring sensitive parts
- Preparing surfaces that cannot withstand mineral abrasives
- Blasting electronic housings, automotive trim, and mold surfaces
Why Choose Type V Acrylic Blast Media?
- Softest plastic blast media (ideal for fragile surfaces)
- Leaves minimal to zero surface profile
- Extremely low risk of warping, etching, or pitting
- Re-usable media with good longevity
- Produces less dust compares to harder abrasives
- Non-silica, non-metallic, environmentally safer option
- Works in low-pressure blast settings
