20. SUMMARY AND CRITICAL WARNINGS

SUMMARY

Plastic Abrasive is a reusable synthetic blasting media manufactured from specially formulated polymer resins. Developed for precision surface preparation and coating removal applications, it allows effective cleaning without damaging sensitive substrates. Due to its low hardness and controlled impact characteristics, it is suitable for applications where dimensional tolerances and surface integrity must be maintained.

It appears as a granular solid, available in various grades. Its Mohs hardness is 3–4, specific gravity is 1.20–1.60 g/cm³, and bulk density is 0.70–0.95 g/cm³. It has very low dust generation, is non-conductive, and is insoluble in water. It is free from crystalline silica and is highly reusable.

It is used in the aerospace, automotive, electronics, industrial manufacturing, and composite materials industries for applications such as aircraft paint stripping, mold cleaning, sensitive component cleaning, tool maintenance, deflashing, and carbon fiber/fiberglass preparation.
