Applications for Stain Wiping Brushes:
Stain Leveling - Are available in both "Fine set" and "Tufted" bristle configurations. Stain Leveling Brushes are used to work the stain around on the surface of the wood, to drive color and pigment into the pores of the wood. Nylon or Tapioca brush filaments are generally used for this purpose. Nylon generally is preferable because of its superior wear characteristics and nylon is less absorbent compared to natural fiber brushes.
Stain Wiping - Also available
in both "Fine set" and "Tufted" bristle configurations,
Stain Wiping Brushes are used as a follow up to the leveling brushes. They
smooth out or remove any excess stain from the surface of the wood. Soft Nylon
or Boars Hair brush filaments are used for this purpose. Boars Hair is preferable
for solvent based coating systems because they are the most absorbent brush
fiber. For water based stains and pigmented sealers, nylon brushes work best.
The wiping brushes remove any brush marks put in by the leveling brushes
Unique Features:
Patented Bristel Bonding System - Our "Tufted" bristle pattern chemically bonds groups of bristles in a staggered pattern to our metal core. This inures maximum bristle retention and provides a stiffer brushing action without a loss of uniformity. Our "Tufted" Wiping Brush yields a long life and is compatible with most stains and solvents used for brush cleaning.
Our "Fine set"
bristle pattern chemically bonds individual strands of bristle to our metal
core. This pattern provides the softest, most uniform contact with the surface
being wiped. Customers have reported increased productivity and reduced rejects
as a result of using our "Fine set" brushes. The full uniform density
optimizes performance, extends brush life, and reduces loading or contamination
from stain buildup.
Bristle Configurations:
Dense Pattern - These designs are full-face brushes with continuous bristle material. The number of bristles per square inch is maximized. Full-face patterns are most effective for sanding flat stock. A densely filled brush puts more points of contact on the surface being sanded.
Spiral Pattern - These designs have longer bristle and are better suited to sanding irregular surfaces. The individual spiral rows of bristle have relief allowing the brush to bend and conform to raised or recessed areas. Tiny bristle wrap around corners and sand in the smallest profile without loss of detail.
Core Options:
Refillable Stub Shaft
- These designs are best suited to applications that require heavy sanding
with aggressive grits. The Sanding Brush shafts are shrunk to fit into a heavy
wall tube and are welded. These units can be sent back to us for re-trimming
or recovering.
(Integral Core Design)
Refillable Brush Sleeve
- These designs are best suited to applications that require a quick-change
alternative. The Sanding Brush Sleeve mounts to your existing drive shaft
using taper lock bushing or adapter bushings. These units can also be sent
back for re-trimming or recovering.
(Permanent
Arbor Assembly)
Disposable Brush Sleeve
- These designs are best suited to narrow applications like edge sanding and
profile sanding. Brushes are supplied with reusable inserts that adapt units
to Metric and English drive spindles.
(Disposable
Sleeve Compression Design)
All designs are balance at your operating speeds to insure vibration less, chatter free performance.
Testing Facilities:
If you are not sure of the proper grit, bristle length, pattern, or brush speed required for your Sanding application, send us samples and we will test your product in our lab. This is the most cost effective means of optimizing the performance of our Abrasive Sanding Brushes. We look forward to your challenge!
