Brass Wire Brush Is Suitable for Cleaning Plastic Extrusion Parts

Brass wire is softer than steel wire or stainless steel wire, and offers a brushing action that will not scratch harder metals. Our brass wire is Alloy 260, composed of 70% Copper and 30% Zinc. If your work-piece is either brass or copper, then brass wire is the most suitable choice. Brass wire (as well as bronze wire) will not generate sparks when struck against other metallic surfaces, and is suitable for hazardous environments.

Brass wire is also an excellent conductor of electrical energy (28% IACS), and is suitable for static reduction applications when incorporated into a brass wire strip brush. Brass is appropriate for operating environments up to 300°F constant temperature. Brass wire is also relatively corrosion resistant.

Wire brushes are available in all industrial brush formats (wheel, cup, end, twist knot, strip, and coil-wound brushes) in a wide range of wire sizes in brass wire or bronze wire. Custom specified wire brushes are available in all formats in brass-plated steel and other alloys to meet specific environmental conditions.

Popular Applications for Brass Wire brush:

Cleaning plastic extrusion parts, including molds, dies, and extruder barrels.

1. Cleaning machine parts where sparks might pose a risk of fire or explosion.
2. Cleaning metal parts without removing any of the base material.
3. Satin finishing aluminum extrusions or sheet.
4. Static reduction brushes for industrial environments.
