Technology Update: Diamond Brushes
Filiflex
Airflex
Tenax
Tenax diamond brushes can be used on existing tools that are used every day in fabrication shops to create antique finishes on slabs. Grits used to create a typical antique finish:
- Start with Filiflex 36, 46 and 60 grit.
- Finish with Airflex 120, 220 and 300 grit.
Higher grits are available to create a “caress,” or polished finish.
Made with many narrow bristles, the Tenax Filiflex removes material more aggressively and cuts deeper to create a nice antique look. Airflex Snail Lock grits are 36, 46, 60.
Airflex brushes remove the “softer” material in the stone to create a beautiful texture while enhancing the natural color in the stone. It adds color and forms a beautiful soft antique look.
The Tenax Airflex Snail Lock grits available are: 120, 220, 300, 400, 300Lux, 400Lux, 600Lux and 800Lux.
