Description
Overview
Tenax Airflex 5 in. snail-lock brushes refine an antiqued or leathered stone texture. Diamond abrasive in the brush filaments follows the textured surface, helping smooth and develop the finish after the initial coarse brushing.
Features
- Flexible abrasive filaments work across the stone texture.
- Snail-lock attachment for a compatible polishing machine.
- Available grits allow the finish to be developed progressively.
Specifications
- Diameter: 5 in.
- Attachment: Snail lock
- Abrasive: Diamond-bearing brush filaments
- Process role: Refining the texture after coarse brushing
Grit Options
- 120
- 220
- 300
Applications
For antiquing and texturing suitable granite, quartz, quartzite, slate, sandstone, serpentine, marble, travertine, limestone and onyx. The brush works the surface texture; it is not a conventional flat polishing pad.
Selection and Use
- Begin with the appropriate coarse Filiflex step where needed, then use Airflex to refine the result.
- Select the grit required for the next stage, not just the brush diameter. The stone and desired texture determine the useful sequence.
- Confirm snail-lock fit and machine requirements before installation. Higher-numbered Airflex Lux brushes can provide a final refinement stage; they are separate selections, not an included set.
