Application

Tenax Silicon Carbide Brushes are designed to be used in a series, progressing through various grits to achieve the desired texture depth and finish level. Lower grits create deeper texture and more aggressive surface aging, while higher grits refine the surface for a smoother, more satin antiqued appearance.

These brushes are ideal for:

• Creating antique and aged finishes
• Producing leathered textures on soft stone
• Enhancing natural stone character
• Restoration and refinishing projects

Performance Features

• High bristle density for consistent surface contact
• Premium silicon carbide abrasive filaments
• Uniform wear for predictable finish results
• Designed for use on automated and manual polishing systems
• Excellent control on low Mohs hardness materials

Why Use Silicon Carbide Brushes for Soft Stone?

Soft natural stones require a controlled abrasive that textures without chipping or tearing the surface. Tenax Silicon Carbide Brushes are engineered to open the stone surface gradually, creating depth and movement while preserving structural integrity.
