Standard Abrasives Buff and Blend GP Interleaf Flap Brush, 875195

Description

Both tough and pliable, the Standard Abrasives Buff and Blend GP Flap Brush is a good match for medium-duty cleaning and deburring applications on contours or uneven surfaces. It leaves a uniform finish on irregular surfaces and is also effective when a long line brushed finish is desired. The general purpose GP material suits a variety of metals, including ferrous alloys.

Quality Materials and Construction for Demanding Finishing Applications
Our Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend GP Flap Brush is a great multi-purpose product for industrial maintenance applications. Among Buff and Blend materials, GP material is moderately aggressive. A flexible open web conforms to workpiece contours, curves, and ridges. Its non-woven construction makes the flaps spongy and responsive. When the job requires a tougher product for higher-pressure applications, we recommend using a Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend HS Flap Brush.

Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend products are made from tough, resin-reinforced nylon fiber with aluminum oxide abrasive grain. The durable high strength construction of our Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend GP Flap Brush provides aggressive, controlled action and a consistent, uniform finish without leaving behind parting lines. Non-woven construction allows removing surface contaminants without eliminating critical detail or gouging the workpiece.

Effective Finishing
Our maroon GP brush is available in medium grade aluminum oxide in a wide range of diameters 8˝ and above. It is an effective abrasive for many different finishing operations:

• A grain finish on brass strike plates for door hardware
• A satin finish on builders’ hardware (cabinet handles, door knobs, and more)
• Satin finishes on soft metals
• Inline brushed finishes on aluminum and stainless cookware (pots and pans)
• Producing fine scratch patterns on utensils and cutlery prior to cotton buff and compound polishing
• Removing oxide from precious metals
• Blending flash and parting lines on aluminum die cast

Featuring Consistent Finishes and Operator Comfort
Flap brushes produce a consistent finish which does not reflect lines commonly attributed with ganged arbor hole discs. Density, pressure and angle determine the ability of the flap brush to remove burrs, oxidation and handling marks. The abrasive brush material provides ventilation which helps dissipate heat and, therefore, runs cooler. This provides consistent finishes without smearing or otherwise discoloring the work piece. Minimal vibration can reduce chatter marks.

Load-Resistant Construction Boosts Life and Performance
Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend products are load-resistant to keep you cutting with fresh mineral. The gaps in the open web allow unwanted swarf to escape. Consequently, less debris clogs the abrasive, so the mineral can stay fresh, keep cutting sharp and deliver a consistent cut over the life of the product. As the fibers break down and fresh mineral is exposed, it reduces the likelihood of dull or blunt mineral smearing the surface, contributing to cleaner surfaces and less re-work. Furthermore, manual fatigue that may result from applying heavy pressure to a dull abrasive is reduced.

The Many Benefits of Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend Products
Standard Abrasives™ Buff and Blend products invigorate deburring, cleaning, blending and finishing applications by helping operators reduce finishing steps, minimize costs and achieve greater throughput. Each Buff and Blend product and grade offers unique benefits, so operators can choose from a versatile range of options to ensure superior performance on specific applications.
