With the addition of ceramic filament brushes, Abtex Corp. can now offer a wider selection of filament materials, as well as an unlimited number of shapes and sizes for every conceivable application.

Although silicon carbide is spec'd most often, Abtex can also fabricate brushes using aluminum oxide, ceramic or diamond filaments. Unless specified otherwise, the filaments are mounted in the company's proprietary, molded, composite material.

The company tests customer parts every day in its application lab. Abtex engineers use this test data to design an abrasive filament pattern that will be most efficient and cost effective for the application.
