Floor Sweeping Compounds


Box	Drum

Sprinkle these compounds over floors before sweeping to absorb dirt and dust.

Petroleum Base—Petroleum-based compounds contain wood fiber and oil. They absorb dirt and dust more effectively than water- and wax-based compounds. Compounds in the 100-lb. box and 250-lb. drum contain sand, which is mildly abrasive to help clean. Compounds in the 150-lb. drum are nonabrasive and leave a shine on finished floors.

Water Base—Water-based compounds contain wood fiber with water and sand. They are mildly abrasive to help clean. Often used in food-processing environments, they don’t leave a residue.

Wax Base—Wax-based compounds contain wood fiber and wax. They absorb dirt and dust more effectively than water-based compounds. They are also nonabrasive and leave the brightest shine on finished floors.

Cannot Be Sold To—Compounds that cannot be sold to the regions listed are restricted by local chemical regulations.

Duct Floor Sweeps

Get dust and debris off your floor and into your collection system. Open the hinged door of these sweeps and push material inside so it can be sucked away.

Galvanized Steel—Corrosion resistant and affordable, galvanized steel is the most commonly used ductwork material.

Connectors—You'll need these to join floor sweeps with spiral or tight-seal spiral duct.
