Broom & Brush Construction
Surface textures and types of dirt vary throughout a facility, so choosing
the correct broom and brush construction is important for maximum cleaning
effectiveness. Rubbermaid brooms and brushes offer a complete range of
blocks and fill types to clean virtually any surface.
Block Structures |
|
|
|
Structural Foam Block
Resists cracking, splitting, warping and rotting.
Helps prevent bacteria growth. Two threaded holes
provide long product life. |
Wood Block A
classic look that resists moisture and helps prevent
cracking. Two threaded holes provide long product
life. |
Block & Fill Design
Staggered hole pattern prevents gaps in fill material
for better performance. Dense fill leads to longer
brush life. Flagged tips pick up fine dust and
dirt particles. Flared ends allow access to
corners. |
|
Natural Fill |
|
|
|
Horsehair Very
durable with a naturally flagged tip; good
shear/break resistance. Will not scratch smooth or
highly polished surfaces. Not for use on oily or
wet surfaces. |
Palymyra Medium to
highly stiff fiber from the Palmyra Palm provides
durability and good bristle recovery. Can be used
wet or dry. |
Tampico Soft to
medium stiff fiber from the Agave plant. Durable
and retains shape after continual use. High
resistance to heat, alkali, solvents, and acid.
Can be used wet or dry. |
|
Synthetic Fill |
|
|
|
Nylon Very durable
with excellent abrasion resistance, shear/break
strength, and bristle bend recovery. Will not
stain, discolor, or absorb odors. Can be used wet
or dry and is resistant to alkalis and most solvents. |
Polystyrene
Extremely durable. Excellent bristle bend recovery
and shear/break strength. Resistant to water,
oils, and solvents. Not for sweeping compounds or
oily surfaces. |
Polypropylene Very
durable with good abrasion resistance and shear/break
strength. Will not stain, discolor, or absorb
odors. Resistant to solvents, acids, oils, fungus,
and bacteria growth. Can be used wet or dry. |
|
Wire/Metal Fill |
|
|
|
Brass Provides a high degree of abrasion
without severely scratching hard surfaces. Will
not rust. Best for heavy cleaning of metal or
brick surfaces that cannot sustain heavy scratches. |
Stainless Steel Provides a high degree of
abrasion and wear resistance. Resists chemicals
and rust. Excellent bend recovery. Best for
aggressively removing residue from metal or other
resilient materials. |
Tempered Steel Provides a high degree of
abrasion and wear resistance. Good bend recovery.
Best for aggressively removing residue from metal parts
or brick work. |
