plastic shot
- During cleaning operations, they generate much less dust than plant-based products or glass microspheres.
- When used correctly, they do not cause wear on surfaces and extend the service life of equipment and molds.
- They quickly and effectively remove burrs from electronic components, resulting in savings on waste disposal costs.
- They remove burrs from aluminum, zinc, and magnesium parts without damaging the surfaces or affecting the tolerances.
- They are treated with antistatic solutions that help keep dust and static charge levels low.
- Sharp edges clean faster than shells, which saves you a lot of money.
- They are non-toxic, do not cause silicosis, and improve workplace conditions
- They can be used in standard turbine or jet engines.
Descripción
Descripción
Plastic shot is an ideal abrasive for applications that require controlled, precise, and gentle treatment, allowing for cleaning or stripping without damaging the original surface of the part.
Thanks to its low hardness and light weight, it provides gentle blasting without causing surface roughness, while preserving the properties of the treated material.
Main Advantages
- Effective cleaning without damaging the surface
- It does not cause roughness or surface wear
- Low dust generation and high operator safety
- High durability and reusability
- Reduced waste and a lower environmental impact
- Excellent value for the price
Material properties
The plastic shot consists of angular-cubic particles, which allow for efficient cleaning without being abrasive.
Its composition, based on thermosetting resins, ensures:
- High wear resistance
- Stability in repetitive processes
- Compatibility with recycling and sorting systems
Applications
Plastic shot is particularly well-suited for treating sensitive materials and delicate parts:
- Removal of paint without damaging the base metal (aluminum, magnesium, composites)
- Mold cleaning (steel and aluminum)
- Plastics and rubber industry
- Stripping in the aerospace industry
- Cleaning boat hulls
- Deburring of light alloys
- Shot blasting of plastic parts
- Engravings and technical finishes
Compatible devices
This abrasive can be used in a wide variety of blasting systems:
- Manual and automatic blasting booths
- Portable sandblasters
- Shot blasting or abrasive blasting rooms
- Dry and wet equipment
- Turbine shot blasting machines
Manufacturing process
Plastic shot originated in military and aerospace applications, so it is manufactured to strict quality standards.
It is produced from thermosetting resins that undergo the following processes:
- Aged
- Grinding
- Particle size distribution
- Antistatic treatment
Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for size, shape, composition, and strength, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
Sustainability and efficiency.
- Low generation of dust and pollutants
- Recyclable product
- Lower environmental impact compared to other abrasives
- Potential for multiple cycles of use
Furthermore, because it is harder than the coatings but softer than the substrate, it allows surface layers to be removed up to 3–4 times without damaging the base part.
