The M10 Hole Cleaning Brush is a purpose-made wire brush for preparing 10 mm drilled holes prior to installation of chemical anchors and resin fixings. Its primary use is to remove drill dust, loose particles and drilling slurry from the hole to ensure a clean substrate and maximise the bond between adhesive resin and base material in post-installed anchoring systems.

Manufactured with twisted wire construction, the brush in our standard stock uses AISI 304 stainless steel wire (EN 10088‑1) with a natural stainless finish for good corrosion resistance in indoor and many outdoor environments. The brush is supplied as a cylindrical (round) head sized for 10 mm bore holes and is compatible with manual brush holders or drill-mounted adapters. As this is a cleaning accessory there are no threads, head or drive types on the brush itself; it is designed to be used with standard drill brush mandrels or by hand. The product code for this item is RCCB10.

Correct hole cleaning is an essential step specified in anchor and adhesive manufacturers' installation instructions and in guidance such as BS 8539 for the selection and installation of post‑installed anchors in concrete and BS EN 1992‑4 (Eurocode 2 — design of fastenings for use in concrete). Using an M10 brush as part of the prescribed blow‑out and brush cycle ensures the resin contacts clean concrete or masonry rather than loose dust, which improves bond strength and reduces the risk of anchor failure.

Typical applications include chemical/resin anchor installation for M10 bolts, fixings for façades, balustrades, machine bases, M&E support systems and other civil and building engineering work. Industries that commonly use this brush include construction, rail, utilities, HVAC and specialist fixings contractors. Key benefits are effective dust removal for improved adhesive bond, the corrosion resistance of stainless wire for longevity, and compatibility with most epoxy and polyester anchor resins and adhesive systems.
