Bristle Blaster® Pneumatic (SP-647-BMC)
The industry standard for grit-free blasting. Simultaneously removes corrosion and generates anchor profile.
Applications · Singapore
A measurable 65–85 µm anchor profile from a hand tool
High-build epoxies, glass-flake linings and thermal-spray systems need an angular profile to adhere. The Bristle Blaster® generates it in one pass and Flakecoat verifies it before coating.
The problem on site
Why this is done grit-free in Singapore
Coating adhesion depends first on the profile. A coating specification will state a profile range, typically 50–100 µm for epoxies and glass-flake systems, and an inspector will measure it with replica tape or a profile gauge. Power-tool cleaning with discs and wire brushes cannot produce it; grit blasting can, with all its logistics.
The Bristle Blaster® is a hand tool that generates an angular profile: each bristle tip impacts the surface with the energy of an abrasive particle. Independent evaluations report 65–85 µm Rz on carbon steel with the standard belt — within the window most high-performance coatings ask for. Flakecoat measures and records it on every job.

Questions
Common questions
Learn more about our heritage and the specialized services we provide.
Is 65–85 µm enough for glass-flake linings?
Yes for most systems, which specify 60–100 µm; confirm against the specific TDS. Flakecoat quotes the lining and the preparation together so the two match.
Does the profile change as the belt wears?
Yes. Cleaning continues, but profile depth drops. A genuine belt is rated at about one belt-hour; replace it when the profile reading falls.
Can you provide profile records for our QA file?
Yes. Replica-tape readings, cleanliness photographs and film-thickness records are issued with the completion report.
