Abstract

The objectives of Task Order Number 9, entitled "Implementation of Plastic Media Blasting," under U.S. Army Toxic and Hazardous Material Agency (USATHAMA), Contract No. DAAK11-85-D-0008, were fourfold: (1) Evaluate current depainting practices at U.S. Army depots; (2) Evaluate the state of the art in plastic media blasting (PMB); (3) Provide guidance and recommendations to the U.S. Army for implementation of PMB technology in lieu of or in addition to existing depainting operations where PMB is technically, environmentally, and economically justified; and (4) Prepare a test plan to address areas identified during the study as requiring additional data.
