What Is a Nylon Cleaning Brush?
A nylon cleaning brush is characterized by densely packed bristle material within the inner volume of a U-shaped fitting, known as a channel.
Some manufacturers sell them as “wire brushes.”
A nylon cleaning brush is used for polishing, cleaning, and deburring operations. Other types of brushes include straight-line brushes and roll brushes wound on metal rolls. All other shapes are available depending on the application. Also, there are various applications depending on the type of brush bristle material.
Uses of Nylon Cleaning Brushes
Nylon cleaning brushes have a wide range of uses, from industrial to household.
For household use, nylon cleaning brushes with handles are useful for cleaning kitchen drains, faucets, and the edges of cooking utensils such as pans.
For industrial use, they can be attached to power tools to remove rust, polish welds, and peel paint. It is mainly good at polishing and peeling work on fine parts.
Roll-type and straight-type nylon cleaning brushes are generally used in factories by attaching them to the shaft. They are used in various fields for cleaning and dust prevention, such as automotive parts processing, precision machinery, printing machinery, and the liquid crystal field.
How to Select Nylon Cleaning Brushes
It is important to select the right shape and bristle material depending on the use of the brush.
Brush Bristle Material
- Metal Wire: Generally, metal nylon cleaning brushes are chosen for scraping and polishing, such as removing paint, dirt, and rust. Furthermore, by using soft bristles (aluminum and brass) or hard bristles (steel and stainless steel) depending on the substrate material, the work can be done efficiently without damaging the substrate.
- Chemical Fiber: Nylon and other resin-based bristle materials are also used to close gaps in doors and moving tables. Soft bristle materials such as nylon are also used to prevent rainwater intrusion, blindfold, prevent splashing of cutting fluid, and remove shavings and debris from equipment from belts.
- Animal Fiber: Animal fibers such as horses and pigs are ideal for cleaning leather and plated products because they are soft to the touch and do not generate static electricity. They are used for glazing, working around water, and applying adhesives.
Shape
Straight brushes, the original form of nylon cleaning brushes, are used for dust prevention, dust collection, and covering.
Roll brushes, which are wound around metal rolls, etc., can be used for polishing, removal, cleaning, etc.
