MANUFACTURING NON-WOVEN ABRASIVE BRUSHES FOR SURFACE CONDITIONING
Non-woven abrasive brushes are manufactured by taking a patented nylon synthetic fiber and extruding various diameter thicknesses, cutting them into short lengths, and putting them in a tank that blows the fibers up in the air and then allows them to settle in a random pattern. The three dimensional web of material is compressible, which […]
