Non-woven Bear-Tex Flap Wheels

Non-woven Bear-Tex Flap Wheels

A very conformable non-woven surface finishing product, Bear-Tex Flap Wheels provide a cushioning action which is ideal for use on uneven or irregular surfaces as well as flat areas. Also available as interleaf flap wheels to remove more material than standard flap wheels.

  • Removing oxide from printed circuit boards
