RECOMMENDED BRUSHES
Brushes must be chosen depending on type of floor and dirt to be removed.
The employed material and the bristles diameter are the elements that distinguish different types of brushes.
MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS
PPL (Polypropylene) Good wear resistance. Maintains characteristics with hot water up to 50°C. It is not hygroscopic.
NYLON Excellent wear resistance, even with hot water. It is hygroscopic.
TYNEX Nylon bristles with grains of abrasive material. Use with caution in order not to mark the floor or ruin the
polishing.
BRISTLES THICKNESS Thicker bristles are more rigid and must be used on smooth floor or floor with small joints. On irregular floors
with deep joints or relieves, it is recommended to use softer bristles which penetrate more easily and deeper.
Please be aware that when brush bristles are worn out and therefore too small, they become rigid and unable to
penetrate and clean deeper. This may also happen with thicker bristles creating brush vibration.
PAD HOLDER It is equipped with anchor points which permit the blocking of the abrasive pad during work. The pad is
recommended to clean smooth floors.
