Use the Scotch-BriteTM 7447 manual swab for a wide range of materials and tasks. Our swabs combine flexibility, effectiveness of cutting action and precise control, for uniform results in push finishing applications. They are especially useful for the most difficult cleaning operations.
Scotch-BriteTM swabs are used as grade 1 steel wool but, unlike the latter do not break during use, do not create rust or fine metal splinters. The non-woven fabric material with open texture resists clogging and can be used dry, with water and solvents and can be rinsed for later use.
Our manual swabs in dark red can be used in various ways. They adapt comfortably to the hand for precise control and can be used with a special manual tool to obtain a uniform finish or on an inline sanding machine to cover larger surfaces.
Our swabs contain fine-grained abrasive aluminium oxide, which ensures fast and fine cutting, leaving the surface polished. Professional industrial operators prefer aluminum oxide for its hardness, fast cutting and durability. This durable abrasive is fragmented during use, continuously creating new sharp edges, unlike traditional abrasives such as the corundum that quickly wear with use
Aluminium oxide is often used in grinding applications, as well as sanding and finishing, for fast cutting, hardness, resistance and low heat retention.
It is suitable for various substrates, both in wood and metal processing, including ferrous alloys.
The Scotch-BriteTM industrial abrasive products are unique products for the processing of surfaces where the abrasive is mixed with nonwoven nylon fiber to create a system that delivers consistent results throughout the life of the product. The open textured material is load-resistant and maintains the cutting performance of abrasive minerals at high levels by limiting fiber clogging.
