Attachment 2 Statement of Work Type VII (Starch-g-acrylic) Blast Media

HSCG38-16-Q-800004

1.0 General

1.1 Background

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) utilizes Type VII (Starch-g-acrylic) blast media for the purpose of de-painting USCG aircraft and aircraft parts. It is used to strip coatings from all substrates without damage. It can be used for selective stripping and taking off top coatings, but 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. The USCG also requires that the spent media is recycled and disposed of in accordance with Military Specification MIL-P-85891(series).
