Technical Features

Type of Filaments:

Abrasive Materials:

• Silicon Carbide (SiC) Abrasive Filament: Used for antiquing marble and limestone. It offers effective abrasive action.
• Diamond (Dia) Abrasive Filament: Suitable for harder materials such as granite, agglomerate, and porcelain stoneware. It ensures greater hardness and durability over time.

Types of Brushes:

• Normal: standard brushes without additional coatings.
• Resin-bonded: brushes with resin coating for operations requiring higher material removal and durability.

Grits Available:

• From 24 to 3500: allows for various levels of finish from very coarse to very fine, resembling a silk-like effect.

Applications:

• Antiquing: Marble brushing brushes are used to give surfaces an aged appearance, enhancing the natural chromatic tones of the material. This process lends the stone a rustic and ancient charm, with slightly rounded edges and a satin-like yet smooth surface to the touch. Antiquing is highly valued for its aesthetic effect reminiscent of the natural weathering of stone, creating a silk-like effect on the worked material.
• Satin Finish: In addition to antiquing, these brushes can be used to achieve a satin effect, a matte finish that is not overly rough, highly sought after for contemporary taste.

Advantages:

• Flexibility and Adaptability: Nylon filaments with abrasive loadings allow for working on irregular surfaces, refining the softer parts of the material and creating natural low reliefs.
• Customizable Antique Effect: A wide range of grit sizes to achieve different finishes and intensities of antique effect.
• Uniform Finish: Ensures a consistent texture across the entire surface.
• Efficiency and Time Savings: Diamond brushes for antiquing eliminate the need for intermediate steps like sandblasting and flaming, significantly reducing processing times.
• Durability: High-quality construction ensures long-lasting brushes, even under heavy use.

Materials: marble, granite, agglomerate, porcelain stoneware, and natural stones.

Grits Available:

• Silicon Carbide: grits from 24 to 1000.
• Diamond: grits from 24 to 3500.
