About Industrial Brushes

Industrial brushes are used for metal deburring; removing rust, paint or coatings; welding or surface preparation; painting and coat application; thread cleaning; and surface finishing on a variety of materials.  Brushes consist of a bristles mounted in a holder. There are many types of industrial brushes. Examples include an abrasive brush, sanding brush, metal brush, organic fiber brush, and a synthetic bristle brush. An abrasive brush is used for light deburring, metal finishing, cleaning rust, oxides, defuzzing wood panels, and denibbing plastic. This type of industrial brush will not snag on cut metal edges. A sanding brush is primarily used for smoothing treated wood surfaces. A metal brush is used for burnishing fine detailing and fitting into tight areas. An organic fiber brush contains natural, soft bristles and is used in delicate areas where a hard-fiber or metal wire brush will mechanically damage the fine details. A synthetic bristle brush contains bristles that are manufactured by a chemical process. Other industrial brushes are commonly available.
