excl. VAT

High-performance VanAcrylic thermoset blasting media designed specifically for safe, ESD-controlled removal of Parylene and liquid conformal coatings from PCBs. Uniform 80/100 grit for predictable results with the Vaniman ProBlast 3 ESD system.

Sold in 1, 5 and 30 lb packs.

SKU: N/A Category: Media

Description

VanAcrylic 80/100 grit is a purpose-engineered thermoset plastic micro-abrasive designed specifically for electronics rework. It delivers fast, controlled removal of Parylene and liquid conformal coatings from printed circuit boards while protecting sensitive components, solder joints, and solder resist.

Developed for use with the Vaniman ProBlast 3 ESD, VanAcrylic combines stable electrostatic control with uniform particle sizing to provide predictable removal rates, repeatable results, and a significantly lower risk of substrate damage compared with mineral abrasives such as aluminium oxide.

Why choose VanAcrylic?

Electronics-grade media — formulated for PCB rework, not general blasting
ESD-controlled performance when used with ProBlast 3 ESD
Uniform 80/100 grit for consistent removal behaviour
Lower surface aggressiveness than aluminium oxide
Solvent-free process — avoids chemical handling and disposal
Clean, predictable results across acrylic, urethane, silicone and Parylene

Typical applications

Parylene rework and selective removal
Conformal coating stripping for inspection or repair
Exposing test points, pads or vias
Localised rework around connectors and fine-pitch components
Pre-inspection cleaning after coating failure analysis

IMPORTANT NOTE ON USAGE: For best performance with a Vaniman sandblaster, use VanAcrylic in the 50–100 µm sand tank with a large violet nozzle tip on the handpiece. Other combinations may lead to blockage or poor blasting performance.

Pack sizes

1 lb bag — ideal for trials, small jobs, or first fills
5 lb bag — cost-effective for routine production use
30 lb bag — best value for higher-volume users

Recommended system pairing

For the cleanest, safest, and most repeatable results, use VanAcrylic media with the Vaniman ProBlast 3 ESD Complete System (ProBlast + StoneVac II). This gives you:

Stable ESD control during blasting
Consistent airflow and media delivery
HEPA dust capture at source
Cleaner workspace and safer operator environment
Turnkey setup with matched components
