Metal Channel Strip Brush

If you are looking for a brush to use as a seal or barrier for air flow, temperature control, noise reduction, light filtration and pest management, a customized strip brush is an excellent solution. Additionally, strip brushes are used to contain and guide materials along conveyor systems or shield parts cleaning and debris, such as wood or metal chips. Metal channel strip brushes are also effective for spreading material across wide spaces.

Built with quality in mind

Our brushes are built to last and perform at the highest level, which begins with high-caliber design and superior materials at the base level.

A metal strip forms a heavy-duty backing. As the metal is formed into a U-shaped channel, the fill material is laid overtop.

Backing

Strong wire is laid across the top of the fill material. It is pressed into the metal channel, forcing the fill material to become vertical as the channel is closed around the wire and the fill.

Center Wire

A variety of fill material is able to be used in the strip brush, depending on the use needed. These materials can be crimped or level and the fibers can be natural, synthetic or steel.

Fill material

Meet the requirements of your application with different trim options including flat, beveled, shaved end and notched.

Trim options

Aluminum extrusions provide a continuous holder for the brush strips and assure that the seal will remain in place. Available in straight, angled, or 90- degree configurations.

Customize your fill material

Pairing the right filament to your application plays a crucial role in the performance of your brush.

Crimped

Level

These bristles have a wave and create a bushier brush.

Straight bristles create a more compact surface.

Synthetic

Nylon

Good bend recovery, abrasion resistance, flex fatigue resistance, and chemical resistance.
Grade 6.0, 6.6, 6.12

Polypropylene

Versatile filament with excellent wet stiffness. Good bend recovery, but will take a set more easily than other material.

Abrasive Nylon

Nylon monofilament impregnated with silicone carbide, aluminum oxide, or ceramic. Long wearing material available in several filament diameters and grit sizes.

Natural

Horse Hair

Excellent durability. The soft to slightly stiff texture ensures gentle cleaning without scratches on polished surfaces. Produces very little static electricity.

Tampico

From the Agave plant grown in Mexico, with a natural cream color. Excellent for tasks that involve retaining liquid, scrubbing, and finishing surfaces.
