Coil Wound Metal Back Strip Sizes / Specifications

We have nine metal back strip sizes we are capable of coiling in both galvanized and stainless steel. The finished channel sizes are illustrated below. Smaller backing sizes can be wound down to a 1/2” inside diameter and provide more brush material per lineal inch of cylinder compared to the larger backing sizes. Any type of brush filament can be made in the metal back strip.
