Mexico fiber (trade name: "Tampico-Fiber") is a natural fiber made from the leaves of some agave species cultivated exclusively in the Mexican highlands. The fibers are very resistant to chemical and physical loads without losing their abrasive and at the same time elastic properties. Therefore, polishing tools made from Mexico fiber are ideal for industrial fine grinding, matting and satin finishing in the metal and wood industry. Precondition for an optimal polishing result are very careful processing, the choice of material and the closest possible number of bristles.

Tampico Fiber / Ixtl
Tampico Fiber (named after the port city of Tampico in Mexico) is a yellow natural fiber from the leaves of agave species that are cultivated exclusively in the Mexican highlands. Due to the water bound in them, Mexicofibre fibers are extraordinarily elastic and at the same time extremely resistant to extreme chemical and physical influences. This makes Mexicofibre an excellent raw material for the production of brushes that can withstand extreme loads, e.g. B. are exposed during polishing.

Protective Equipment when Polishing
When grinding and polishing, the work equipment used creates considerable health risks. It is therefore compulsory to wear suitable personal protective equipment for work safety when grinding and polishing. In particular, all rotating polishing and brushing tools may only be operated with suitable covers for reasons of occupational safety.
Wear eye / face protection
The fine dust emanating from polishing is harmful to the eyes. Flying parts can cause serious injuries to the face and eyes.
Wear respiratory protection
Fine dust contaminated with heavy metals and respirable, which can only be retained with suitable respiratory protection, is produced during polishing.
Wear protective clothing
Flying parts can cause sensitive injuries all over the body.
Wear gloves
In general, gloves should be worn when grinding and polishing. If there is a risk of being wound up (e.g. drills, processing small parts, etc.), gloves may be prohibited on the basis of a risk assessment.
Wear ear protection
Due to the noise exposure during grinding and polishing, it is necessary to wear suitable hearing protection on a regular basis.
