Custom Strip Seal Brushes

Strip Brush

Choose a strip seal brush when a continuous line of filament must seal, wipe, guide, contain, or protect an edge, gap, opening, or moving interface.

How it is driven: Fixed in place; the work moves past it
How it mounts: Metal channel, aluminum holder, rigid or flexible polymer backing, adhesive track or screw slots.

When should you choose this brush type?

Choose a strip seal brush when you need a continuous flexible line for sealing, wiping, guiding, dust control, or edge protection. Choose a machine-table brush plate when the job needs a broad area of distributed support or contact rather than one linear barrier.

What are Strip Seal Brushes?

Strip brushes hold filament in a metal channel or a rigid or flexible backing to create continuous linear contact. They can block dust and mist, close door and cable-entry gaps, wipe a moving surface, guide parts, reduce noise, or protect an exposed edge.

The backing profile, holder, trim, density, filament direction, and installed compression determine whether the strip seals lightly, wipes actively, or guides with controlled drag. A strip that is too short will leave gaps; excessive interference bends the fill, raises friction, and shortens service life.

What dimensions can I customize?

Filament diameter	0.10–1.27 mm; 0.05–1.00 mm
Holder	Straight channel, aluminum carrier, angle holder, or custom profile; Aluminum, steel, PVC, or custom profile
Contact setting	Use 5–15% trim compression for wiping and dust control
Custom strip length	100–3000 mm
trim height	12.7–152.4 mm

Where is this brush type commonly used?

Start with the job the brush needs to do, then confirm dimensions, contact direction, material, and mounting.

What configurations are available?

Metal-channel strip

Filament captured in a formed channel for straight or curved holders and replaceable sealing sections.

Holder-mounted strip

A channel strip supplied with an aluminum or polymer carrier for screw, slot, or slide-in installation.

Stapled block strip

Tufts set into a rigid polymer or wood backing for wiping, guiding, and heavier linear contact.

Flexible-back strip

A bendable backing follows curves, irregular openings, or moving machine contours.

Segmented replacement strip

Short sections are installed in a long track so high-wear zones can be replaced separately.

What material is right for this brush type?

Nylon PA

General sealing and wiping with good recovery and a wide stiffness range.

PBT

Wet or frequently washed installations where lower water absorption is useful.

Polypropylene PP

Economical moisture and chemical service where the temperature is suitable.

Horsehair or soft fiber

Low-friction sealing and dust control on surfaces that should not be marked.

Antistatic or conductive filament

Cable entries, electronics, and process openings where charge control is part of the requirement.

Stainless wire

High-temperature or aggressive wiping only where metallic contact is acceptable.

Filament materials to compare

What do I need to know before ordering?

Specify the gap or edge profile, total length, backing or holder section, trim height, intended compression, movement direction, surface speed if applicable, temperature, chemistry, static requirements, and mounting-hole pattern.

Questions this page is asked

How should a strip brush be trialed on a moving door, guide or conveyor edge?

Cycle the full travel at the intended speed while checking actuation force, filament fold direction, snag points, heat and recovery after dwell. Inspect every segment joint and end transition for an open leakage path or a proud carrier that can strike the moving component.

What must be demonstrated when a strip brush is specified for static control?

Define the required electrical function and test method, then verify continuity through the actual filament, carrier, fasteners and grounding point after installation. Repeat the accepted measurement under relevant contamination and humidity conditions and after maintenance, because a conductive fill cannot work through an isolated mounting path.
