Brushes in Abrasive Nylon
Bursten Brushes use the highest Nylon quality soaked with silicon carbide abrasive grain, aluminum oxide or aluminum silicate. The brushes in abrasive nylon are designed for deburring applications, cleaning, chamfer and superficial finishing of different materials
The Abrasive Nylon Filament
Characteristics
The filament is composed of a matrix of Nylon 612 with abrasive grains an is ideal as material for the brushes thanks to:
Abrasion capacity
Chemical resistance
Flexibility of the filaments, which allows to process also non plane surfaces
Long lasting
Grits Available
CS – Abrasive Grit in Silicon Carbide:
Circular section filament: from 36 to 500
Rectangular section filament: 80/120/180/320
OA – Abrasive Grit in Aluminium Oxide:
Circular section filament: from 80 to 600
Rectangular section filament: 80/120/180/320
SA – Abrasive Grit in Aluminium Silicate:
Circular section filament grit 2000
Different grits available on demand

Abrasives Resistant to High Temperatures HT150
Bursten has introduced for its range of brushes the new crimped abrasive filament HT150 resistant to high temperatures. HT150 is able to work continuously at the temperature of 150°C and can be recharged with abrasive aggregates of different types and with grit of different size.
Thanks to its resistance to the effects of temperature, the wire can work at sliding linear speed of 60 m/s, superior to those bearable by any other traditional abrasive wire, based on a synthetic matrix of PA 6.12: the brushes using the wire HT150 can therefore generate an abrasion effect 5 times higher than the traditional ones

Choosing the Abrasive Type
Our best advice is to use Silicon Carbide in general for all the applications that require a high material stock removal rate. We rather advice to use Aluminium Oxide/Aluminium Silicate where the Silicon Carbide is too aggressive or may cause contamination in some applications on non-ferrous materials (soft materials, wood, plastic materials, aluminum).
The effectiveness of the brushing varies depending on speed, pressure, density/wire protrusion and above all type of filament.
The grits 120 and 180 can be used in most applications and anyway as the first verification the surfacesal treatment, after which depending on the level of finishing required, you can opt for a more appropriate grit.

Brushing advices with the Brushes in Abrasive Nylon
The metallic filament brushes remove the material “by impact” while the brushes with filament in abrasive nylon act “by abrasion” so, in general, we advise to use lower working speed and pressure.
Pressure
With wheel brushes in abrasive nylon you can obtain the highest brushing effectiveness and a long service life of the brush with work interferences of 1/8 of the extrusion. In case of front brushes use interference depth of 2 – 3 mm. We anyway advice to start the job at the lowest possible interference/pressure, augmenting until you obtain the desired result.
Rotation Speed
The speed optimization depends on the type of application and the type of brush in use. In general for wheel brushes we recommend peripheral speed not higher than 18 – 20 m/s. For front brushes use lower speed.
Refrigeration
We recommend the use of coolers (filtered water) for heavy-duty applications to avoid the reduction of the characteristics of mechanical resistance of the filament and to obtain more glossy finishing.
Advancement
Reducing the advancement you can obtain: maximum angles spoking, complete burrs removal. On soft materials you can have higher advancement speed.
