Our Metal Back Strip Brushes are manufactured by securing densely packed crimped black nylon filament into a metal backing. The crimped fill provides a denser brush appearance for a more even brushing action.
We have 32 standard brushes with four different filament diameters, four trim lengths and one-to-eight feet in overall length. Other overall trims, overall lengths and fill materials are available upon request and our engineers can help recommend or design the right brush for your special application.
Nylon Strip brushes are most commonly used as effective gap and weather strip sealing devices to reduce or eliminate the infiltration of light, sound, dust particles and air flow for temperature control. Other applications include shielding, conditioning, cleaning, grooming and static control.
Nylon is one of the most common fill materials used in strip brushes, since nylon offers superior abrasion resistance, bend recovery and flex fatigue recovery. Sealing strip brushes and many coiled cylinder brushes are made from various lengths of black nylon.
Other strip brushes can be made of polypropylene, polyester and abrasive polymers embedded with silicone carbide particles. Metal is sometimes used as a strip brush bristle material in applications in which an abrasive brush is needed, and animal hair is sometimes chosen as a bristle material for strip brushes used for polishing and cleaning, but the use of animal hair bristles is low compared to other materials because of its expense.
Strip brushes are among the most versatile industrial brush varieties because of the wide range of shapes they can take. A strip brush can be as simple as a straight strip used to seal the gap between a door and its frame, or it can be mounted to a tube along with several other strip brushes to form a power brush attachment. They can be twisted around to form spiral brushes, and they can bent into a circle and attached to form a circular brush.
