Scotch-Brite facts
- The original product line consisted of spun polypropylene fiber with about nine grit variations
- Scotch-Brite also contains "Alox", which is a trade name for aluminum oxide
- Although polypropylene may be considered benignly soft, its composition with aluminum oxide greatly enhances its abrasive powers; to the extent that a Scotch-Brite pad will actually scratch glass
- When one considers that aluminum oxide has a coefficient of hardness greater than glass, this should not surprise
- Aluminum oxide has one of the highest hardness coefficients of all oxides, though the much more expensive diamond abrasives still exceed it in hardness
- Scotch-Brite, and similar abrasives, have largely replaced the use of bronze wool, which had been used as a non-rusting alternative to steel wool, for use on materials such as oak that would be sensitive to rust
