Sections of non-woven material slit lengthwise and bonded to a cylindrical core
Scotch-Brite™ Clean and Finish Flap Brush is a great brush for aesthetic finishing applications. Here's why. Brushes are infused with abrasive mineral to give uniform cut and finish throughout product life. The open, flexible flap construction is soft and pliable to produce uniform surface finishes without chatter marks. Flaps are secured to a fibre core and repeatedly lap the substrate's surface. As flaps lap the surface, they brush and finish areas that may have been passed over by more rigid abrasives — striking a balance between strength and finesse. Here's a list of applications this brush is commonly used for:
- Cleaning and light deburring
- Satin finishing on metal
- Defuzzing wood prior to varnishing
- Primer scuffing before final coat
This brush is offered in varying grades of silicon carbide and aluminum oxide mineral. Silicon carbide is a synthetic mineral that's very hard and sharp. It breaks down faster than aluminum oxide but delivers a finer finish. Conversely, aluminum oxide is very durable and lasts longer but finishes coarser than silicon carbide grade for grade. Project needs and requirements — be it aggressive removal or fine finish — will likely influence mineral choice. Independent of the mineral chosen, operators can rely on consistent results.
