Compoundless abrasive polishing or buffing article
A compoundless buff and method of making a compoundless buff using a coating solution formulated with abrasive particles dispersed or suspended using a surfactant or suspension agent and which also contains a self-crosslinking acrylic binder emulsion that binds abrasive particles to nonwoven cloth of a buffing article when the coating solution is applied thereto forming a relatively hard abrasive-containing coating that enables the buffing article to abrasively treat a surface without having to separately apply any buffing or polishing compound. A preferred coating solution formulation further contains a lubricant emulsion that produces a lubricant and abrasive-containing coating of the buff having lubricant interspersed with binder and abrasive particles thereby reducing friction during buffing or polishing. A preferred coating solution also contains at least one surfactant to disperse the abrasive, suspension agent to keep the abrasive suspended, and buffering agent to keep the pH of the solution so it remains flowable.

A rotary radial wire brush made of an annular center disc hub having 32 holes circumferentially spaced apart two radially offset distances from a center about which the brush rotates with a brush wire formed of between 22 and 34 filaments or bristles providing increased material removal rates during a longer useful operating life. A preferred brush has a hub with radially outermost openings larger in size than radially innermost openings causing the brush wire anchored by its twist knot thereto to be more flexible and extend farther radially outwardly than a shorter stiffer more aggressive wire produced by anchoring via a longer twist knot to radially innermost openings. Such a construction produces a rotary brush of the invention with brush wires of alternating flexible and aggressive construction increasing surface finish and material removal rates while having increased brush life.
