Premium Deburring and Finishing in One StepAmong Scotch-Brite™ Flap and Cleaning Brushes, the Scotch-Brite™ Premium Blend and Finish Bonded Cleaning Brush Steel Core is one of the most universally praised brushes for its aggressive deburring attributes, while leaving a consistent, soft finish.

Combining coarse (CRS) aluminum oxide mineral with a hard density (7), this Scotch-Brite™ brush is especially tough and strong. When brought in contact with the workpiece, this brush will not yield or cut as softly as other brushes – for example, the Clean & Finish or High Strength Flap Brushes. As operators know, many variables impact which abrasive should be used. For some applications, a lighter, softer abrasive is the best choice. For applications that require heavy-duty deburring and finishing, Scotch-Brite™ Premium Blend and Finish Bonded Cleaning Brush Steel Core is a good choice.

Durable Construction of Scotch-Brite™ Cleaning Brushes3M engineers Scotch-Brite™ cleaning brushes by attaching circular sections of non-woven material to a cylindrical core. Typical applications for cleaning brushes include coil cleaning prior to coating, deburring, reclaiming sheet and coil and scale/oxide removal. The Scotch-Brite™ brush has an arbor hole to accommodate a shaft and may be secured in place with a flange and key. It will not fray or splinter when faced with edges. The steel core on the brush keeps it sturdy and adds a level of durability to the brush when it’s run on finishing equipment. Operators may choose to add a lubricant or coolant when cleaning, because it helps wash away swarf and reduce loading, extending the brush’s service life.

The Many Benefits of Open Web AbrasivesNonwoven technology makes Scotch-Brite™ industrial abrasives unique. A combination of fiber strands, resin and abrasive mineral forms a thick, open web. The spring-like nature of the fibers responds to contours and effectively removes unwanted burrs, soils and contaminants while maintaining the geometry of the workpiece, which in turn reduces rework and boosts productivity. Gaps in the web allow swarf to escape, so debris does not clog the mineral.

Fibers in the web continually break down with use to reveal fresh mineral for exceptional consistency, superior cut performance and extremely long service life. Scotch-Brite products not only enhance productivity, but also increase operator safety by reducing the need for cleaning chemicals and pastes, and replacing wire brushes that can break off and cause injury. From aesthetic finishing to weld blending, deburring and more, Scotch-Brite abrasives work fast and deliver consistent results, part after part.
