Low sparking brushes
are recommended for working in areas where flammable steams, liquids, or dust are a part of the working conditions. Also, they
are used in all other situations where sparks could lead to a potential fire or explosion
hazard.

In explosion-proof areas, low sparking brushes are recommended. In comparison to the wooden handles of the hand brushes, the bodies of machine-driven brushes are made of brass. The filling material is bronze CuSn6. These materials generate a low amount of sparks, which ensures a working environment
with the minimum of sparks.

Another benefit of bronze is its corrosion-resistant properties.

Typical application areas
Low sparking brushes are used in all industries and companies which have explosion risks or fire hazards due to flying sparks. e.g.:
• Oil and gas industry
• Pipeline industry
• Chemical industry
• Nuclear power plants
• Plastics industry
• Food industry, e.g.: bakeries
• And many others

For example, cleaning tanks or working in an explosive environment.

Work instructions
• Low sparking brushes (with bronze filling) are a lot softer than other regularly used fill materials e.g. Steel and Stainless Steel
• Therefore these brushes have a higher abrasion rate, this means these brushes have to be used with more carefully so as not to damage the workpiece.
