The Best Vegetable Fiber Duster
A vegetable fiber derived from the Agave Lechuguilla, a plant which grows in northern Mexico. The natural color is creamy white, but it is often dyed other colors. Tampico has unique liquid holding and release properties it will absorb 65% more water than plastic fillings.
It has a unique surface roughness due to
crystals of calcium oxalate embedded in the surface. There is really no plastic
substitute for Tampico. The fiber is unsurpassed in most general sweeping
applications, and in all applications requiring liquid retention, scrubbing and
surface finishing.
An extremely coarse vegetable fiber which is
derived from a palm tree growing in West Africa. The reddish brown material is
very durable and water resistant and can be used on any wet or dry concrete
surface. This fiber is a favorite of maintenance crews because of its light
weight and excellent sweeping action.
A vegetable fiber derived from the base of the
fanlike leaf of the Borassus Flabellifer palm tree in India. Its cinnamon,
medium stiff fiber is long lasting and sufficiently rugged to sweep streets,
garages, and barns efficiently. Its water resistance makes it an ideal scrub
brush.
A super light, very resilient and durable
synthetic fiber. It can be boiled and is impervious to solvents, alkalis and
certain acids. This fiber has better water holding characteristics than other
synthetics. Its special shape (X cross section) gives it excellent capillarity
that is moisture moves up the tufts easily.
When flagged, this fiber wears down to a natural
point giving it a softness that resembles horse hair. (Do not use with mineral
acids these attack the nylon fibers.) The ultimate natural fiber. Produces
scratch less, fine dry sweeping. It is used to finely smooth newly poured
concrete, and is a perfect sweep for highly polished surfaces.
