BRUSHES Hand brushes

BRUSHESIntroduction & technical informationTrim materials: the right material for every applicationFor our high end products, we only use trim materials that we have developed ourselves or which have been specificallyselected. Constant laboratory tests ensure high material quality. Your Osborn tool is always perfectly suited to a certaintype of brushing work. Our technical sales department will be pleased to advise you on the ideal trim material for your givenapplication.Steel wire, crimped• Most common trimming material• For flexible brushing tools• Suitable for light surface treatment and deburring operationsBrass-coated steel wire, cord wire• Cord wire with high tensile strength• For demanding brushing and deburring operations,suitable for structuringSteel wire, straight or knotted• For extreme brushing requirements• For brushing tools with less flexibility• Ideal for cleaning weld seam and removing heavy depositsof scale or corrosionTampico fibre• Pure plant fibre• For wet and dry cleaning operations• Heat-resistant• In combination with compound also suitable for polishingSpecial steel wire, crimped or knotted• Heavy duty steel wire with high tensile strength• High elongation and long brush life• For extreme brushing demandsHorse hair• Animal hair• For light cleaning operations• Suitable for sealingStainless steel wire, crimped, straight or knotted• Most commonly used alloy 1.4310 (1.4401/ 1.4571 availableon request)• This wire is used where residue from normal steel wire wouldcontaminate surfaces such as stainless steel, aluminium andother non-ferrous metals.Brass wire• Surface finishing on non-ferrous materials (copper and brass)Synthetic filaments• Highly flexible• Resistant to weak acids and alkaline solutions• Wear resistantAbrasive filament, aluminium oxide• Nylon filaments impregnated with abrasive grit• Light deburring of steel and non-ferrous metalsBrass-coated steel wire, mono wire• Single wires• High tensile strength• For demanding brushing and deburring operationsAbrasive filament, silicon carbide• Nylon filaments impregnated with silicon carbide• Uniform performance as new abrasive particles come to the surface• High elasticity with no danger of breakage• Long brush life• For deburring/descaling, roughening and grindingBrush trim and material suitability.The trim material determines the suitability of the selectedbrush for the surface to be finished.A quick overview of the suitability of your brush can be foundin the trim and material charts in the info headings on theproduct pages.TRIM AND MATERIALProduct available with:Steel wire, crimpedSteel wire, stainlessBrass wireSteelCast ironStainless steelNon-ferrous metalAluminiumSoftwoodHardwoodSimple equation:the right trim for the material being finished.11
