PURCHASE OF eSTRIPTM Type VII Corn Starch-g-Acrylic blast media

Requirement

The USCG uses eStripTM Type VII Corn Starch-g-Acrylic blast media, herein referred to as Type VII blast media, to strip coatings from all substrates without damage to the substrate. It can be used for selective stripping and removing top coatings while leaving primer intact. It is an engineered copolymer blast abrasive derived from grafting starch with acrylic plastic. It also removes vinyl from aircraft interior panels, sealants from components and/or fuel cells, and paint from cadmium plated parts where the plating was left intact. Its use can replace chemical and plastic bead paint stripping systems traditionally used and limits exposure of personnel to hazardous material.
