Strip brushes are widely used industrial products that find applications in various industries such as door and window sealing, conveyor belt cleaning, concrete block production, and more. In this article, we will primarily focus on the materials that can be used to make strip brushes. Strip brushes consist of two main components: the metal backing and the bristles. The metal backing is bent into a U shape, and the bristles are securely fixed onto the metal backing using a steel rod. Metal Backing There are typically two material options: Galvanized steel Stainless steel Galvanized steel is the most common choice as it meets the requirements of most applications. For example, galvanized steel backing is commonly used in door bottom seal brushes. However, in industries with higher demands, stainless steel is the preferred choice. For instance, in the food industry, stainless steel is essential due to its rust-free properties, ensuring hygiene. Stainless steel backing is also ideal for environments that involve exposure to acids, alkalis, or moisture, where ordinary metals would rust and result in a shorter product lifespan. Stainless steel backing effectively mitigates this issue. Bristles There are numerous options available, including Polypropylene Nylon Steel Wire Horsehair Tampico Polypropylene bristles are the most commonly used due to their affordable price. Nylon bristles are relatively more expensive but offer superior durability and better resilience. Steel wires are suitable for tasks requiring high-strength cleaning. Horsehair is known for their anti-static properties, making them desirable in certain industries such as electronics. Tampico bristles are primarily used in the woodworking industry. These are some of the material options for strip brushes, and the selection depends on the specific application requirements. At our factory, Anhui Union Brush Industry, we can provide customized strip brushes using these materials based on your needs.
