Plastic Blast Media for Aviation and Defense Applications

Opti-Blast manufactures plastic blast media for demanding aviation, aerospace, MRO, military, defense, industrial, and restoration applications. As a leader in the plastic blast media industry, Opti-Blast understands that aircraft maintenance requires consistency, experience, and the right media for the right application.

In aviation and defense environments, plastic blast media is commonly used for:

• Aircraft paint stripping

• Airframe surface preparation

• Landing gear restoration

•• Aircraft wheel maintenance

• Engine component cleaning

• Composite surface preparation

• Military and defense aircraft maintenance

Each application has its own requirements. Paint stripping on an airframe is not the same as cleaning an engine component. Preparing landing gear is not the same as working with composite structures. Aircraft wheels, thin aluminum skins, fiberglass components, and military parts all require thoughtful media selection and proper process control.
