The full range

Non-woven brushes

Resin-bonded non-woven flaps or rolls

DTECH HD high-density non-woven brush for PCB
DTECH · HD Flap Brush

HD high-density flap brush

Tightly compressed, resin-bonded non-woven flaps in a radial structure. Strong cleaning and a consistent surface finish: the most versatile brush in the PCB process.

Available grits
#320#400#600#800#1000#1200#1500
Main applications
  • Deburring through holes after drilling
  • Cleaning before dry-film lamination
  • Cleaning before solder mask
  • Hole-plugging ink removal
  • S/S press plate cleaning
DTECH HC high-cut brush for PCB
DTECH · HC Brush

HC high-cut brush

Compressed flaps with specially designed abrasive grains and resin. It removes more than a standard brush and is used where stronger cutting is needed.

Available grits
#320#400#600#800
Main applications
  • Copper nodule removal after plating
  • Removal of excess hole-plugging resin
  • Oxide layer removal after oxide treatment
  • S/S press plate cleaning
DTECH Leveling Wheel convolute brush for HDI boards
DTECH · Leveling Wheel Brush

Leveling Wheel brush (convolute)

Convolute high-cut brush designed for HDI boards. High removal with a uniform surface finish.

Available grits
#400#600
Main applications
  • Removal of excess hole-plugging resin
  • Copper nodule removal after plating
DTECH FD foam-type brush for PCB
DTECH · FD Foam Brush

FD foam-type brush

Non-woven treated with foamed resin. Long service life and a fine finish; the debris is very small and does not plug the holes. The fine scratch pattern lowers the risk of shorts on high-density boards.

Available grits
#320#400#600#800#1000#1200#1500
Main applications
  • Cleaning before solder mask
  • Deburring through holes after drilling
  • Cleaning before dry-film lamination
DTECH brush for cleaning stainless-steel press plates
DTECH · S/S Press Cleaning Brush

S/S press plate cleaning brush

During lamination, prepreg resin particles stick to the stainless-steel plates and leave dents on the next panels. This large-format brush cleans the plates and protects lamination quality.

Available grits
#180#240#320
Main applications
  • S/S press plate cleaning

Bristle brushes

Abrasive nylon filaments

DTECH RB nylon deburring brush
DTECH · RB Brush

RB nylon brush

Combines the advantages of non-woven and bristle brushes: strong cutting without plugging the holes.

Available grits
#240#400
Main applications
  • Deburring before plating
DTECH abrasive nylon brush for PCB
DTECH · Nylon Brush

Abrasive nylon brush

Nylon filaments loaded with silicon carbide or aluminium oxide, with precision weaving. High abrasive power, resistant to impact, temperature and contamination, long life.

Available grits
#180#240#320#500#600#800#1000#1200#1500
Main applications
  • Deburring through holes after drilling
  • Cleaning before dry-film lamination
  • Cleaning before solder mask
  • S/S press plate cleaning
  • Cleaning before gold plating

Abrasive belts

Endless belts

DTECH endless abrasive belt
DTECH · Annular Abrasive Belt

Endless abrasive belt

Selected aluminium-oxide abrasive with a narrow grain distribution. Removal is uniform and avoids the deep scratches typical of ordinary belts.

Available grits
#400#600#800#1000#1200
Main applications
  • Copper nodule removal after plating
  • Removal of excess hole-plugging resin
  • S/S press plate cleaning

Other abrasive products
