<p>An aspect of the present invention comprises an integrally molded brush comprising a base and bristles extending from said base, further comprising a moldable composition that includes a dispersed phase comprising ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Another aspect of the present invention is a method of making an integrally molded brush comprising the steps of providing a moldable composition comprising a dispersed phase of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene; causing said moldable composition to become a flowable material; shaping said flowable material; and hardening said flowable material. Other aspects of the present invention provides a method of refining a planar metal workpiece surface, the method comprising the steps of providing an integrally molded brush or brush assembly, each brush comprising a base and bristles extending from said base, further comprising a moldable composition that includes a dispersed phase comprising ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, further comprising an attachment means; providing a driving means; providing a planar metal workpiece; coupling said integrally molded brush or brush assembly to said driving means via said attachment means; and rotating said brush or brush assembly while urging said rotating brush or brush assembly against said workpiece.</p> |
