Plastic Abrasive | Controlled Abrasive for Delicate Surfaces
Plastic abrasive is a low-hardness, controlled-impact abrasive that allows cleaning and coating removal on metal and hard mineral surfaces without causing damage. It is especially preferred for applications where delicate surfaces need to be protected.
What Is Plastic Abrasive?
Plastic abrasive is a synthetic blasting material made from special polymer-based raw materials, much softer than metallic and mineral abrasives. It cleans surfaces without cutting or deforming them, preserving the underlying surface geometry.
