Thank you so much for your concern about our CEO, Ken Rakusin, his family, and their home. Fortunately, his family was able to evacuate safely and are now staying together at another property. While Ken’s home did sustain significant damage, estimated between $30,000 and $50,000 without insurance as State Farm dropped their coverage a few months ago, we truly feel it was a miracle that the house is still standing.
To give you an idea of the destruction around us: if you exit the home and look to the right, just four houses away, you'll see complete devastation stretching for about a mile and a half. However, to the left, there's minimal or no damage at all. It's truly astonishing how random and unpredictable this fire has been.
Our factory and offices are located 15-20 miles away from the nearest fire, so they are completely safe and secure. All of our team members are also living a similar or greater distance from the fires, so everyone is out of harm’s way.
We’re grateful to be safe and look forward to continuing business as usual.
Don’t get your vacuum brushes and brush accessories from just anywhere, get them from America’s top-rated brush manufacturer and seller, Gordon Brush®. Make shopping for industrial cleaning brushes a whole lot easier by shopping for high-quality vacuum brushes that offer a choice of different properties and styles to best suit your application. One such style is our acid resistant vacuum brush. This type of brush is made with only premium-quality materials and designed to meet Gordon Brush’s high standards. Our Gordon Brush acid resistant vacuum brushes are made with a polypropylene body and filled with either 0.006" PEEK (polyetheretherketone) or 0.006” polypropylene bristles and hand-tied with a polypropylene monofilament. Ideal for use in corrosive or extreme heat environments or applications. The PEEK acid resistant vacuum brush is made with both FDA and RoHS compliant materials.
To further expand on PEEK, or polyetheretherketone — it is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic that has a unique combination of properties. The PEEK bristle type has outstanding resistance to harsh chemicals and heat and will not absorb moisture. PEEK provides excellent flexural and tensile strength and has a continuous use temperature of up to 480º F (250°C). It is a great alternative to Nylon for use in extreme chemical and extreme heat applications.
Polypropylene bristle is a versatile, stiff filament used for a wide variety of applications. Polypropylene will not absorb moisture or odors and sheds dirt easily. It has excellent wet stiffness, abrasive tip cleaning action, is non-brittle, and is inert to most solvents, oil, acids and chemicals. It is one of the most chemically resistant synthetic filament materials available. It has a maximum short-term use temperature of 225°F (107°C) and a maximum continuous use temperature of 175°F (79°C).
