Strip Brushes Construction

Metal Back Strip Brushes

Metal back strip brushes are manufactured using densely compressed filaments laid down uniformly onto an unformed metal strip. A binding wire is inserted over the filament causing it to form vertically as the metal backing closes and forms into a “U” shape over the binding wire and the filament. All strip brushes are initially manufactured straight and then can be formed into many different shapes such as a coil, cup or ring style. Metal back strip brushes are the most economical brush manufactured due to the simple form of construction.

Stapled Set Brushes

Tanis manufactures stapled set strip brushes by firmly securing filament material into an extruded PVC backing with a staple. Brush products using either flexible or rigid PVC backing are available. The flexible PVC backing allows this strip brush construction to contour to different shapes and around corners, addressing problems the metal back brushes cannot.
