oxide, steel grit \u2014 are designed to cut, profile, and transform tough metal surfaces. But a significant category of industrial blasting requirements is precisely the opposite: the need to clean, strip, or condition a surface without cutting into it, altering its dimensions, or damaging a substrate that cannot tolerate the impact energy of a hard abrasive.<\/p>\n  <p>This is the domain of soft blasting media. With Mohs hardness values ranging from 2.5 to 4, plastic and organic abrasives interact with surfaces through a mechanism closer to scrubbing than to cutting. They are able to dislodge paints, coatings, carbon deposits, and light contamination without etching the substrate beneath \u2014 a capability that is simply not achievable with harder alternatives.<\/p>\n  <p>For an overview of the full abrasive blasting media spectrum from softest to hardest, see: <a class=\"hlh-link\" href=\"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/resource\/blog\/abrasive-blasting-media-complete-guide-to-types-properties-selection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abrasive Blasting Media: Complete Guide to Types, Properties &amp; Selection<\/a>.

The choice among the three main plastic types \u2014 urea, melamine, and acrylic \u2014 is driven by the coating to be removed, the substrate material, and any special requirements such as static dissipation.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Urea Plastic Grit<\/h3>\n  <p>Urea-formaldehyde resin grit is the softest and most friable of the plastic abrasives. Its low Mohs hardness (3\u20133.5) and high friability make it the most gentle option for substrates that cannot tolerate any surface alteration. Urea grit fractures readily on impact with the substrate, which limits its aggressiveness but also limits its reuse cycles to typically 2\u20133 passes. It is most commonly used for:<\/p>\n  <ul>\n    <li>Stripping powder coatings and paint from aluminum extrusions and die castings at low blasting pressures (20\u201340 PSI).<\/li>\n    <li>Removing coatings from glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) components without cutting the glass fiber reinforcement.<\/li>\n    <li>Cleaning plastic injection molds of resin buildup and release agent residue without scratching mold steel surfaces.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <h3>Melamine Plastic Grit<\/h3>\n  <p>Melamine-formaldehyde grit is harder (Mohs 3.5\u20134) and tougher than urea, offering better coating removal performance and more reuse cycles (3\u20135 passes). It has become the standard plastic abrasive for aerospace paint stripping because it removes topcoats and primer systems from aluminum aircraft skins and carbon fiber composite panels without affecting the substrate or altering the surface profile. Approved under numerous aerospace material specifications (AMS, MIL-SPEC) for use on primary structure components.<\/p>\n  <p>Melamine is also the preferred plastic media for:<\/p>\n  <ul>\n    <li>Removing multi-layer paint from automotive body panels before repaint, preserving OEM primer coats where intact.<\/li>\n    <li>Stripping coatings from composite boat hulls without delaminating fiber reinforcement.<\/li>\n    <li>Deflashing thermoplastic injection-molded parts \u2014 removing mold flash from parting lines without affecting part dimensions.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <h3>Acrylic Plastic Grit<\/h3>\n  <p>Acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA) grit has a similar hardness to melamine but a key additional property: it is <strong>static-dissipative<\/strong> \u2014 it does not generate or accumulate electrostatic charge during blasting. This makes it the only plastic blasting media safe for use on live or assembled electronic components, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and semiconductor equipment where electrostatic discharge (ESD) could damage sensitive components. Acrylic&#8217;s lower density also means it carries less impact energy per particle, making it among the most gentle of the plastic abrasives at a given blasting pressure.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"hlh-box hlh-box-blue\">\n    <div class=\"hlh-box-title\">Pressure Is Critical with Plastic Media<\/div>\n    <p>Plastic blasting media must be used at significantly lower pressures than mineral or metallic abrasives. Typical working pressures for plastic grit applications are 20\u201360 PSI (1.4\u20134.1 bar), compared to 60\u2013110 PSI for aluminum oxide or steel grit. Excessive pressure with plastic media causes rapid media breakdown without improving cleaning performance, and can generate enough impact energy to damage the substrate the process is intended to protect.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <!-- 5 -->\n  <h2 id=\"walnut\">Walnut Shell Blasting Media<\/h2>\n  <p>Walnut shell grit is produced by crushing and screening the shells of black walnuts (Juglans nigra) into angular particles with a hardness of approximately Mohs 3\u20134. Unlike plastic grit, walnut shell is a 100% natural, biodegradable material \u2014 its disposal is straightforward (assuming no hazardous substrate contamination) and it carries no polymer or chemical manufacturing footprint.<\/p>\n  <p>The angular shape of walnut shell particles gives them meaningful cleaning and light coating removal capability despite their low hardness. They are effective at removing soft deposits \u2014 carbon buildup, grease, light corrosion products, residual coatings \u2014 without abrading metal surfaces measurably. This non-abrasive character makes walnut shell the preferred media for cleaning engine components that will be reassembled and returned to service without any subsequent surface treatment: the cleaned surface must be dimensionally correct and free from abrasive contamination.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Key Applications for Walnut Shell<\/h3>\n  <ul>\n    <li><strong>Aircraft turbine blade cleaning:<\/strong> Removing carbon deposits and contamination from turbine blade surfaces during MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) operations. The blades must be dimensionally correct after cleaning \u2014 walnut shell removes deposits without altering the airfoil profile.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Automotive engine reconditioning:<\/strong> Cleaning pistons, cylinder heads, intake manifolds, and valve train components of carbon and varnish deposits without damaging machined surfaces.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Wood restoration &amp; graffiti removal:<\/strong> Stripping deteriorated paint or graffiti from wood surfaces without raising the grain or damaging the wood fiber structure \u2014 impossible with harder abrasives.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Food processing equipment:<\/strong> Cleaning food-contact surfaces and equipment internals where residue-free cleaning is required and chemical cleaning is undesirable. Walnut shell leaves no chemical residue and is food-safe.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <div class=\"hlh-box hlh-box-orange\">\n    <div class=\"hlh-box-title\">Size Selection for Walnut Shell<\/div>\n    <p>Walnut shell is available in standard mesh sizes from 4\/8 mesh (coarse, ~2.4\u20134.8 mm) through 40\/60 mesh (fine, ~0.25\u20130.42 mm). Coarser sizes remove heavier deposits faster; finer sizes provide gentler action and better access to complex surface geometries. For engine cleaning applications, 20\/40 mesh is the most commonly specified; for turbine blades, 40\/60 or finer is typical to preserve airfoil surface finish.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <!-- 6 -->\n  <h2 id=\"corncob\">Corn Cob Blasting Media<\/h2>\n  <p>Corn cob grit is produced from the ground cob (the woody core) of corn (maize) plants. With a Mohs hardness of just 2.5\u20133, corn cob is the gentlest blasting abrasive in common industrial use \u2014 softer than even walnut shell. Its particle shape is irregular rather than distinctly angular, which further reduces its tendency to scratch or etch surfaces.<\/p>\n  <p>Beyond its extremely gentle action, corn cob has a distinctive secondary property: it is <strong>highly absorbent<\/strong>. Corn cob particles readily absorb oils, moisture, cutting fluids, and light contamination from surfaces during blasting, making them effective for cleaning and drying simultaneously. This absorbency is particularly valued in applications where surface contamination consists of both solid deposits and oily residues that need to be removed in a single step.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Key Applications for Corn Cob<\/h3>\n  <ul>\n    <li><strong>Brass and bronze surface polishing:<\/strong> Corn cob&#8217;s gentle action can produce a polished, brightened finish on soft non-ferrous metals without the scratching that harder media would cause. Tumbler barrels loaded with corn cob and a polishing compound are standard in ammunition and jewelry manufacturing.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Wood cleaning and restoration:<\/strong> The most gentle wood-safe blast media \u2014 cleans weathered and contaminated wood surfaces without raising grain or fiber damage. Used in heritage building restoration.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Plastic and composite surface cleaning:<\/strong> Removes contamination and light coatings from plastic components, fiberglass, and composite panels with virtually no risk of substrate damage.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Drying and degreasing operations:<\/strong> In vibratory finishing systems, corn cob media is used to dry and burnish parts after aqueous cleaning processes, absorbing residual moisture and light lubricant traces from complex part geometries.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <!-- 7 -->\n  <h2 id=\"reuse\">Reusability &amp; Disposal<\/h2>\n  <p>Plastic and organic blasting media differ significantly in their reusability and disposal profiles.<\/p>\n\n  <p><strong>Plastic grit (urea, melamine, acrylic)<\/strong> can be reclaimed and reused 2\u20135 times depending on grade and operating conditions. Reclaim is practical in enclosed cabinet blasting systems with dust collection; plastic grit used in open blast operations is generally not economically recoverable. Spent plastic media is classified as non-hazardous industrial solid waste in most jurisdictions (subject to the nature of substrate contaminants in the spent material) and disposed of through standard industrial waste streams.<\/p>\n\n  <p><strong>Walnut shell and corn cob<\/strong> are practical only as single-use media \u2014 they fracture too rapidly and absorb too much contamination for effective reclaim in most industrial settings. However, their biodegradability is a significant disposal advantage: clean spent organic media can typically be composted or disposed of as organic agricultural waste, avoiding the cost and administrative burden of industrial waste disposal. This advantage disappears if the spent media is contaminated with heavy metals, lead paint, or other hazardous substances from the substrate \u2014 in those cases, the spent media must be managed as hazardous waste based on its contamination content, regardless of the media&#8217;s own non-hazardous nature.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"hlh-box hlh-box-green\">\n    <div class=\"hlh-box-title\">Environmental Advantage of Organic Media<\/div>\n    <p>When the blasted substrate is non-hazardous (carbon steel free of lead paint, wood, aluminum without chromate primer), spent walnut shell and corn cob media can typically be composted or land-disposed as non-hazardous organic waste \u2014 a significant cost and complexity advantage over industrial waste disposal of mineral or slag abrasives. Always verify the contamination content of spent media before selecting a disposal route, as the substrate&#8217;s coating chemistry drives the waste classification, not the media itself.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p>For a comprehensive treatment of media waste streams and recycling options across all media types: <a class=\"hlh-link\" href=\"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/resource\/blog\/abrasive-blasting-media-recycling-reclaim-systems-reduce-cost-waste\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abrasive Blasting Media Recycling &amp; Reclaim Systems: Reduce Cost &amp; Waste<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n  <!-- 8 -->\n  <h2 id=\"applications\">Applications industrielles<\/h2>\n\n  <h3>Aerospace: Aircraft Paint Stripping<\/h3>\n  <p>Stripping paint from aircraft structures is one of the most technically demanding blasting applications precisely because the substrates \u2014 aluminum alloy skins, CFRP panels, composite radomes, and honeycomb assemblies \u2014 cannot tolerate the profile-creating, material-removing action of harder abrasives. Melamine plastic grit, used at carefully controlled pressures (typically 30\u201350 PSI) and standoff distances, strips topcoat and primer systems from aircraft skins while preserving the anodized or alodined surface treatment beneath. This capability allows airlines and MRO shops to return stripped aircraft to service without re-treating the base surface \u2014 a significant time and cost saving. For more on aviation applications, see: <a class=\"hlh-link\" href=\"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/resource\/blog\/blasting-media-for-automotive-aerospace-applications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blasting Media for Automotive &amp; Aerospace Applications<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Automotive: Coating Removal Without Substrate Damage<\/h3>\n  <p>Automotive restorers and body shops use plastic blasting media to strip paint from body panels where the sheet metal is too thin or too deformed to safely tolerate the stresses of harder abrasive blasting. Melamine grit removes multiple paint layers cleanly without warping thin steel panels \u2014 a problem that can occur with aluminum oxide or steel grit at the pressures needed for effective paint removal. Plastic media is also used to strip coatings from fiberglass body panels and bumpers, which cannot be processed at all with mineral or metallic abrasives.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Mold &amp; Die Cleaning<\/h3>\n  <p>Plastic injection molds, rubber molds, and die casting dies accumulate resin buildup, release agent residue, and contamination over their service lives. These residues must be removed periodically to maintain part quality, but the mold steel surfaces \u2014 often highly polished or precision-textured \u2014 cannot be scratched or altered. Urea and melamine plastic grit, used at low pressures in bench-top or cabinet blasting systems, removes the contamination without affecting the mold surface finish. This application is one where plastic media has no practical alternative \u2014 chemical cleaning is slow, incomplete, and carries its own substrate compatibility risks.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Electronics &amp; PCB Assembly Cleaning<\/h3>\n  <p>Acrylic plastic grit&#8217;s ESD-safe properties make it the only blasting media appropriate for direct application to assembled electronic components and PCBs. It is used to remove flux residues, conformal coating rework spots, and contamination from electronic assemblies in repair and rework operations \u2014 a niche application but one where the wrong media choice would cause immediate component damage.<\/p>\n\n  <h3>Food Industry Equipment Maintenance<\/h3>\n  <p>Food processing equipment \u2014 mixers, conveyors, tanks, and heat exchangers \u2014 must be cleaned periodically of food residues, mineral scale, and biofilm without introducing abrasive contamination into food contact zones. Walnut shell and corn cob media, being natural food-safe materials, can be used in environments where synthetic abrasives and chemical cleaners are unacceptable. Both media types leave no residues of concern and are compatible with food-grade cleaning protocols.<\/p>\n\n  <!-- 9 -->\n  <h2 id=\"selection\">How to Choose Between Soft Media Types<\/h2>\n  <div class=\"hlh-table-wrap\">\n    <table>\n      <thead>\n        <tr><th>Application Requirement<\/th><th>Recommended Media<\/th><th>Key Reason<\/th><\/tr>\n      <\/thead>\n      <tbody>\n        <tr><td>Aircraft paint stripping (aluminum skin)<\/td><td>Melamine plastic grit<\/td><td>Aerospace spec compliant, preserves alodine\/anodize<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><td>CFRP composite paint stripping<\/td><td>Melamine plastic grit<\/td><td>Does not cut carbon fiber reinforcement<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><td>Mold cleaning (polished steel)<\/td><td>Urea plastic grit<\/td><td>Softest grade \u2014 no risk of mold face scratching<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><td>PCB \/ electronics cleaning<\/td><td>Acrylic plastic grit<\/td><td>ESD-safe \u2014 won&#8217;t damage electronic components<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><td>Engine component carbon removal<\/td><td>Walnut shell grit<\/td><td>Removes carbon without altering machined surfaces<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><td>Turbine blade deposit removal<\/td><td>Fine walnut shell (40\/60 mesh)<\/td><td>Non-abrasive on airfoil, removes soft deposits<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><td>Wood restoration \/ graffiti removal<\/td><td>Walnut shell or corn cob<\/td><td>Will not damage wood grain \u2014 biodegradable<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><td>Brass\/bronze polishing and drying<\/td><td>Corn cob grit<\/td><td>Gentlest action, high absorbency for oils\/moisture<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><td>Food equipment cleaning<\/td><td>Walnut shell or corn cob<\/td><td>Food-safe, biodegradable, no chemical residue<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><td>Powder coat stripping (aluminum extrusion)<\/td><td>Urea plastic grit, low pressure<\/td><td>Removes coating at 20\u201340 PSI without substrate damage<\/td><\/tr>\n      <\/tbody>\n    <\/table>\n  <\/div>\n  <p>For a broader selection framework covering all media types and hardness levels, refer to: <a class=\"hlh-link\" href=\"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/resource\/blog\/how-to-choose-abrasive-blasting-media-7-key-factors-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Choose Abrasive Blasting Media: 7 Key Factors Explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"hlh-cta\">\n    <h3>Need Help Selecting the Right Blasting Media for Sensitive Substrates?<\/h3>\n    <p>Jiangsu Henglihong Technology&#8217;s technical team can help you identify the most appropriate media for delicate applications \u2014 from aircraft component MRO to precision mold cleaning \u2014 and connect you with the right product specification and supplier.

Key applications include aircraft paint stripping from aluminum and composite skins, removing coatings from CFRP parts, cleaning injection molds, and stripping automotive body panels where dimensional integrity must be preserved. It is used at significantly lower pressures (20\u201360 PSI) than mineral or metallic abrasives.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hlh-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"hlh-faq-q\" onclick=\"hlhA6Toggle(this)\">What is walnut shell blasting media used for?<span class=\"hlh-faq-arrow\">\u25bc<\/span><\/button>\n      <div class=\"hlh-faq-a\">Walnut shell blasting media (crushed black walnut shells, Mohs 3\u20134) is used for cleaning surfaces without abrading the substrate. Key applications include removing carbon deposits from engine components and turbine blades, stripping paint from wood surfaces without grain damage, cleaning food processing equipment, and graffiti removal from historic masonry. Its biodegradability makes it environmentally favorable compared to synthetic abrasives.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hlh-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"hlh-faq-q\" onclick=\"hlhA6Toggle(this)\">Can plastic blasting media be reused?<span class=\"hlh-faq-arrow\">\u25bc<\/span><\/button>\n      <div class=\"hlh-faq-a\">Yes, with limitations. Plastic grit (urea, melamine, acrylic) can typically be reused 2\u20135 times in enclosed cabinet systems with reclaim. Harder grades (melamine, acrylic) last longer than urea. Organic media (walnut shell, corn cob) are practical single-use only \u2014 they fracture too rapidly and absorb too much contamination for effective reclaim in most applications.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hlh-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"hlh-faq-q\" onclick=\"hlhA6Toggle(this)\">Is walnut shell blasting media biodegradable?<span class=\"hlh-faq-arrow\">\u25bc<\/span><\/button>\n      <div class=\"hlh-faq-a\">Yes. Walnut shell and corn cob are fully biodegradable natural materials. Clean spent organic media can typically be composted or disposed of as organic waste rather than industrial waste, significantly reducing disposal cost and complexity. However, if the spent media is contaminated with hazardous substances from the blasted substrate (lead paint, heavy metals), the waste classification is driven by those contaminants and must be handled accordingly.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hlh-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"hlh-faq-q\" onclick=\"hlhA6Toggle(this)\">What is the difference between walnut shell and corn cob blasting media?<span class=\"hlh-faq-arrow\">\u25bc<\/span><\/button>\n      <div class=\"hlh-faq-a\">Walnut shell (Mohs 3\u20134) is harder and more angular than corn cob (Mohs 2.5\u20133), making it more effective at removing deposits and light coatings. Corn cob is gentler still, with higher absorbency that makes it effective for cleaning and drying oily surfaces simultaneously. For carbon deposit removal on engine parts, walnut shell is the typical choice; for polishing soft metals like brass, drying parts after aqueous cleaning, or cleaning the most delicate surfaces, corn cob is preferred.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <hr>\n\n  <div class=\"hlh-related\">\n    <div class=\"hlh-related-title\">Related Guides in This Series<\/div>\n    <div class=\"hlh-related-grid\">\n      <a class=\"hlh-related-card\" href=\"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/resource\/blog\/abrasive-blasting-media-complete-guide-to-types-properties-selection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n        <div class=\"rc-label\">Complete Guide<\/div>\n        <div class=\"rc-title\">Abrasive Blasting Media: Complete Guide to Types, Properties &amp; Selection<\/div>\n      <\/a>\n      <a class=\"hlh-related-card\" href=\"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/resource\/blog\/blasting-media-for-automotive-aerospace-applications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n        <div class=\"rc-label\">Application Guide<\/div>\n        <div class=\"rc-title\">Blasting Media for Automotive &amp; Aerospace Applications<\/div>\n      <\/a>\n      <a class=\"hlh-related-card\" href=\"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/resource\/blog\/how-to-choose-abrasive-blasting-media-7-key-factors-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n        <div class=\"rc-label\">Selection Guide<\/div>\n        <div class=\"rc-title\">How to Choose Abrasive Blasting Media: 7 Key Factors Explained<\/div>\n      <\/a>\n      <a class=\"hlh-related-card\" href=\"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/resource\/blog\/eco-friendly-biodegradable-blasting-media-green-alternatives-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n        <div class=\"rc-label\">Safety &amp; Compliance<\/div>\n        <div class=\"rc-title\">Eco-Friendly &amp; Biodegradable Blasting Media: Green Alternatives Guide<\/div>\n      <\/a>\n      <a class=\"hlh-related-card\" href=\"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/resource\/blog\/abrasive-blasting-media-comparison-chart-hardness-profile-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n        <div class=\"rc-label\">Selection Guide<\/div>\n        <div class=\"rc-title\">Abrasive Blasting Media Comparison Chart: Hardness, Profile &amp; Cost<\/div>\n      <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<script>\n(function(){\n  function hlhA6Toggle(btn){\n    var item=btn.closest('.hlh-faq-item');\n    var isOpen=item.classList.contains('open');\n    document.querySelectorAll('.hlh-a6 .hlh-faq-item').forEach(function(el){el.classList.remove('open');});\n    if(!isOpen){item.classList.add('open');}\n  }\n  window.hlhA6Toggle=hlhA6Toggle;\n})();\n<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media Types \u2014 In-Depth Guide Plastic &amp; Organic Blasting Media:  [&#8230;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12766,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62,175,138],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-industry","category-resource"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12700"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12700\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12702,"href":"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12700\/revisions\/12702"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hlh-js.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
