The Navy and the Air Force have found that Plastic Media Blasting must be highly controlled, especially around thin aluminum skins.
I have a question regarding Wheat Starch. Has there been any research conducted on the potential for microbial corrosion as a result of starch intrusion into voids, such as lap joints or other faying surfaces? It seems to me that Wheat Starch residue might be a real hazard in areas subject to moisture (condensate, rain, washing, etc.)
Thank you very much,
