What Is Solidstrip® Melamine Type III Plastic Media?
Solidstrip® Melamine Type III is the most aggressive plastic blasting media in the Solidstrip® lineup. With a Barcol hardness of 65, it is engineered to strip the most difficult surfaces and coatings at a fast, effective rate across a wide range of industrial and precision applications.
When the job calls for maximum stripping power, Melamine Type III delivers. It handles tough coatings on hard substrates, including metal die castings, steel components, gears, and industrial molds, without the surface damage associated with harsher abrasives like glass beads. It produces no hazardous waste and leaves no chemical residue, making it a practical and cleaner alternative to conventional abrasive methods.
Available nationwide, Solidstrip® Melamine Type III is the trusted choice for industrial and precision operations that demand the highest level of plastic media blasting performance.
Key Advantages
The most aggressive coating removal in the Solidstrip® plastic media lineup, engineered for jobs where maximum stripping power is the top requirement.
Produces minimal airborne particulate during blasting, supporting cleaner working conditions and reducing cleanup time between cycles.
Does not produce frictional heat on impact, protecting workpieces from warping or thermal distortion throughout the stripping process.
Primary Applications

Solidstrip® Melamine Type III: The Most Aggressive Plastic Blasting Media Available
Melamine Type III plastic media is the go-to solution when stripping speed and aggression are the top priorities. With the highest hardness rating in the Solidstrip® lineup, it is built to handle the most difficult coatings and surfaces that other plastic media cannot effectively address.
Solidstrip® Melamine Type III is manufactured to consistent particle size tolerances, delivering predictable, high-performance stripping and a uniform surface finish across every application.
Its aggressive cutting action makes it an effective alternative to glass beads and other harsh abrasives, offering comparable or superior strip rates while producing less dust and leaving no damaging residue on the substrate.
Whether you are processing heavy industrial components or precision parts with tight tolerances, Solidstrip® ships plastic media nationwide to support operations of all sizes. Contact our team to request a quote or find the right mesh size for your application.
