Many Advantages Make AMMO Plastic Media a Smart Choice:
- Recyclable Economies
Based on conditions, such as proper operating pressures and recycling equipment, plastic media can be recycled and reused. This attribute, combined with cost comparisons to expensive chemicals and agricultural media (wheat starch,corncob, walnut shell, baking soda and related products), makes plastic media a competitively priced form of blasting media.
- Favorable Outcomes
Unlike abrasives and toxic chemicals, plastic media blasting results in less surface distortion and residue left on the components.
- Quality Production
The Ameri-Tech quality manufacturing process results in a fully polymerized, cured product, with cured polymer resins (thermosets). The manufacturing process also results in consistent and accurate sizing of media—a must when a smooth substrate and finish is required.
- Uniform Consistency
Ameri-Tech AMMO plastic media products are manufactured within tight tolerances, hardness and sizing constraints, resulting in uniform particle sizes. In turn, smooth surfaces and finishes are produced.
- Abundant Stock
Ameri-Tech stocks many sizes and can mix any combination of mesh sizes to order. In addition, Ameri-Tech plastic media products ship on the same business day or next business day to destinations around the world.
- Non-Silicosis Factor
A a non-silica based and inert media, the health hazard of inhaling dangerous dust is minimized during plastic media blasting.
Note: Always use proper respiration equipment, ventilation and dust collectors when using Ameri-Tech AMMO products.
- Anti-Static
The Ameri-Tech Anti-Stat process virtually eliminates static clinging of the media to surfaces and equipment during the plastic media blasting process.
- Non-Hydroscopic
Plastic media will not absorb moisture and has a limitless shelf life. This poses an advantage over the agricultural types of blasting media, which are subject to mildew, mold and other harmful inhabitants.
