One More Answer In A Proud Legacy

Washington Mills has been developing and steadily improving new products to meet customers’ evolving needs since 1868. Our commitment to quality, reliability and consistency is a proud legacy of uncompromising standards.

DURAMEDIA®Plastic is one more answer to your mass finishing requirements - a prime example of why we remain the industry leader in the supplying of media for the mass finishing industry.

DURAMEDIA®Plastic
A premium, polyester resin vibratory media with clear performance advantages -- the result of unique bonding systems, providing the ultimate in resiliency! DURAMEDIA® Plastic is available in low density, high density and high performance formulations to meet the needs of specific applications and a variety of finished. All formulations ensure extended life, consistency of performance and reduced effluent -- conforming to environmental and ecological standards.



Low Density Media

Low density DURAMEDIA® Plastic media has been formulated for a wide range of applications. These general purpose medias can be used for deburring, flash removal, burnishing and preplate finishing.

CompositionLbs./Cu. Ft.ColorDescription/Application
DPLD-10 68 Blue Very mild cutting action producing a low-micro-inch preplate finish. Can be used for surface preparation of parts which require buffing, burnishing or plating. Provides a smooth, clean and reflective finish.
DPLD-20 75 Green A media which gives a medium cut while producing a low micro-inch finish. Use for surface preparation on parts requiring plating, buffing or burnishing. Will usually eliminate a two (2) step process.
DPLD-30 75 Maroon A faster cutting media which provides a very bright low micro-inch finish. Eliminates two-step operations where surface removal, buffing or plating of parts is required.
DPLD-40 68 Green A fast cutting media which provides a smooth matte finish. Removes burrs, flash, die marks and blends parting lines easily. A general purpose media for all ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

High Density Media

High density DURAMEDIA® Plastic medias are designed for superior cut and stock removal on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. In most instances, these high density medias will reduce cycle times and provide vastly improved finishes in applications ranging from deburring of hard metals to fine finished on intricate parts.

CompositionLbs./Cu. Ft.ColorDescription/Application
DPHD-110 80 Yellow A mild butting media which produces a very bright preplate finish. Use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals which require plating or where burnishing is necessary.
DPHD-120 85 Dark Yellow A media which provides a more aggressive cut while producing a bright, smooth, low micro-inch finish. Use to provide a preplate finish on all ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
DPHD-130 88 Light Blue A fast-cutting media which provides a low matte finish. Use for deburring and surface metal removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Reduces cycle times and gives a preplate finish.
DPHD-140 90 Light Gray An extremely fast cutting media which provides a smooth matte finish. Use when removing surface imperfections or for forming a radius on parts. Blends sharp edges and parting lines.

High Performance Media

High performance DURAMEDIA® Plastic medias have been formulated for use in specific applications involving ferrous metals. These metals will provide a dramatic improvement in surface finished with the impact resistance of a plastic body, which significantly decreases fracturing and impingement.

CompositionLbs./Cu. Ft.ColorDescription/Application
DPHP-220FC 75 White Fast cutting for producing a clean, bright, matte finish. Use for deburring and surface metal removal on all metals.
DPHP-230FC 77 Brown Aggressively fast cut for increased production while reducing cycle time. Ideal for removing machine lines and forming radius on hard metals.
DPHP-250FC 78 Dark Blue Most aggressive cutting media. Deburring and surface removal on all ferrous metals. Suited for applications where parts are to be welded or braised.
DPHP-310MC 60 Black Non-aggressive media, very minimal cut. Produces a matte finish with virtually no stock removal. Ideal for use in chemical accelerants and as a driver for loose abrasives.
DPHP-320MC 60 Dark Brown A mild cutting media which produces a very low micro-inch finish. Use on ferrous metals requiring extremely low micro-inch finishes where plating is not required.
DPHP-350MC 60 Gray Mild cutting action which produces an extremely low micro-inch finish. Use primarily on ferrous metals which require an extremely fine finish and will be plated, welded or braised.
