Product Highlights

• Type II Urea media is the most versatile plastic abrasive for stripping paint and removing coatings from cars, aircraft, trucks, trailers, trains, vans, busses and steel. For over 40 years, Composition Materials has custom manufactured PLASTI-GRIT® plastic media abrasives from 100% recycled raw materials for low-cost, environmentally safe paint removal with quick cutting action.
•  Urea plastic blast media is available in all standard sizes from coarse to medium to fine, as well as custom sizing. When blasting, optimal blast parameters (psi & nozzle distance) ensure best results. Also available: granular Urea abrasives, powders and flours for non-skid applications as well as economical fillers in paints, coatings and cleaning applications. Mil-Spec MIL-P-85891A approved.
• Urea abrasives and powders also offer excellent solutions for filler applications in a wide variety of industries. Urea media is durable, long-lasting, light-weight and made from 100% recycled materials. Filler applications include paint additives, texturing, thickening and anti-slip aggregates.
