Brass wool: Although less aggressive than the Inox Wool, it is easily subject to deterioration. It will cause metal particles and fibers to contaminate the working area. Customers have refused to use Brass Wool for this reason. Brass wool was first used in industry many years ago and it became standard use in industry and was used by many operators.

Inox Wool: It is more agressive than the Brass wool and so will require more care when being used. It is the most effective when used less aggressively and therefore minimizing the abrasions – Remember! Less Is Better. As well as being more effective, Inox is much more durable than Brass. It is more flexible, less fragile, and as a result, reduces the amount of particles and contamination of the work area. In tests we found it very resistant to breakage and it contained less than 10 times the amount of broken particles than in Brass wool.
