Urea (Type II) Plastic Abrasive Grit

Sandblasting material

Urea (Type II) plastic abrasive grit is a lightweight, non-metallic blasting media designed for precision surface cleaning and coating removal without damaging underlying substrates. Made from urea formaldehyde resin, it provides controlled cutting action, low dust, and excellent recyclability, making it ideal for delicate aerospace, automotive, and electronics applications where dimensional integrity is critical.

Features

Lightweight, non-metallic, and non-sparking
Gentle yet effective coating and contaminant removal
Maintains substrate integrity with minimal profile creation
Low dust generation for cleaner working environments
Recyclable through multiple blasting cycles

Applications

Paint and coating removal from aircraft and aerospace components
Cleaning of automotive body panels and fiberglass parts
Electronics and precision component surface treatment
Deburring and deflashing of molded plastic parts
Maintenance of delicate machinery and equipment surfaces
