Cleaning Brushes 3M St. Paul, Minn.

3M introduces new Scotch-Brim CA cleaning brushes, which are designed to clean metal coil and sheet in alkaline solutions better than bristle brushes. By providing greater contact with the

total work surface using a nonwoven, open-web construction, Scotch-B&e CA cleaning brushes can outperform conventional cleaning products such as tampico, polypropylene, fiberglass, nylon, or stainless steel wire brushes. The CA brushes can be used in con- junction with alkaline solutions having a pH of 14 and temperatures up to 250’F. The brushes can follow con- tours and conform to itregular surfaces for mote thorough cleaning prior to coating operations. Because there are no bristles to break off and clog filters, there is less downtime and greater pro- ductivity using Scotch-Brite cleaning
