Plastic media are lightweight, non-abrasive finishing materials commonly used in vibratory and tumbling processes. They are great for smoothing, deburring, and polishing soft metals, plastics, and delicate parts. Ceramic media can be too harsh for these materials.
At Mass Polishing, we make plastic tumbling media from polyester or urea resin. We mix these with high-quality abrasives. This ensures gentle and consistent performance for precision finishing tasks.
Types of Plastic Media Available
Our plastic media comes in different shapes like cones, triangles, cylinders, and pyramids. Each shape is made for specific machines and finishing goals.
Smaller shapes reach intricate areas, while larger ones increase cutting efficiency on broader surfaces.
Mass Polishing provides customized media combinations to achieve the perfect balance between surface smoothness, brightness, and cutting power.

We offer different cutting strengths and abrasive levels for various materials and finishing requirements:
Pre-Plate Plastic Media
This plastic media is made for pre-plating preparation. It gently refines surfaces, removes tiny defects, and creates a clean, smooth base. This helps with better adhesion in later finishing processes.
Light-Cut Plastic Media
This light-cut tumbling media is great for plastic, resin, and light-metal parts. It helps with controlled deburring. It also gives a smooth, even finish while keeping the parts precise during the vibratory finishing process.
General-Cut Plastic Media
This general-cut plastic media is a versatile option for many uses. It provides consistent deburring and smooth surface improvement. This makes it a reliable choice for daily vibratory finishing tasks.
Fast-Cut Plastic Media
This fast-cut media is made for parts that need stronger cutting action. It quickly removes burrs and sharp edges. This reduces tumble finishing time and improves workflow efficiency for metal components.
Super Fast-Cut Plastic Media
This media is designed for tough deburring tasks. It cuts quickly and removes material aggressively. It prepares hard-metal parts for fine finishing or polishing.
Advantages of Plastic Media
✅ Lightweight and non-abrasive – ideal for fragile or thin-walled parts.
✅ Produces bright, smooth finishes without damaging the surface.
✅ Lower machine wear compared to ceramic media.
✅ Excellent for aluminum, brass, zinc, and plastic parts.
✅ Reusable and cost-effective for long production cycles.
Disadvantages & Considerations
While plastic media offer outstanding versatility, they also have some limitations:
1.Less aggressive than ceramic media – not suitable for heavy burrs or hard metals.
2.May generate more dust during processing if not properly maintained.
3.Requires correct compound and water flow to maintain surface quality.
For high-cutting or dense material removal, ceramic or stainless steel media may be a better alternative.
