BRUSHES Hand brushes

BRUSHESIntroduction & technical informationEasy identification of the best trim material.The correct choice of trim material is very important in obtaining the best surface finish, because the desired result willonly be achieved by correctly matching the trim to the surface material being finished. The illustration below clearlyexplains the relationships involved in each stage of the process.E.g.: Paint removal from aluminium blank homogeneous surfaces by selection of steel wire, crimped, stainlessSurfaceDesired resultRecommended trim material andits propertiesRust/paintremoval• Non-ferrous metals & aluminium• Stainless steels• Blank, homogeneous surface• To remove severe contamination• To remove dirt incrustations• Blank, homogeneous surface• To remove severe contamination• To remove dirt incrustations• Steel wire, crimped, stainless (flexible)• Steel wire, knotted, stainless (aggressive)• Steel wire, straight, stainless (aggressive)• Steel wire, crimped (flexible)• Steel wire, knotted (aggressive)• Steel wire, straight (aggressive)Deburring,edge rounding• Non-ferrous metals & aluminium• Non-ferrous metals & steel• Stainless steels• Edge rounding, small radius• Medium – aggressive deburring• Medium – aggressive deburring• Abrasive filament brush (flexible)• Steel wire, crimped, stainless (flexible)• Steel wire, crimped (flexible)• Non-ferrous metals & aluminium• No material removal from welded seam• Steel wire, knotted, stainless (aggressive)Cleaningweld seams• Stainless steels• Aluminium surfaces• No material removal from welded seam• Removal of welding residues &oxide coatings without material removal• Steel wire, knotted (aggressive)• Steel wire, crimped, stainless (flexible)• All materials• Light surface roughening• Abrasive filament brush, coarse grit 40-120 (flexible)Roughening,smoothing• All materials• Stainless steels, INOX, aluminium• Brass, bronze, copper• Smoothing surfaces• Smoothing surfaces• Smoothing surfaces• Abrasive filament brush, fine 120-320 (flexible)• Steel wire, crimped, stainless, wires < 0.30 mm (flexible)• Brass wires (flexible)• Wood• Dust removal• Fibre (flexible)Sweeping,dedusting• All materials• All materials• Sealing, stripping• Cleaning• Horse hair (flexible)• Nylon, wire, natural bristle (flexible)Wood graining• Wood• Wood• Wood• Wood graining• Removing raised wood fibres• Smoothing/following contours• Steel wire with brass coating (hard)• Abrasive filament brush (hard)• Abrasive filament brush (fine)12
