Material Highlights
- Bristle manufacturing process creates consistent brushes with repeatable performance
- Filament sizes from 0.004” (0.1mm) to 0.060” (1.5mm) in crimped or level (straight)
- Also available in a variety of special shapes (square, rectangular, hollow, etc.)
- Exceptional brush life in part due to:
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Excellent resistance to failure from fatigue bending
- Can be used wet or dry with consistent absorption rates and minimal softening
- Can safely be used in temperatures up to 250°F / 120°C (or higher with specialized material)
- Nylon is FDA-compliant and readily available in a variety of colors
- Additives to nylon create a variety of specialty filaments including:
- Anti-static (AS)
- Conductive (graphene-infused)
- Static-dissipative (Thunderon™)
- High-heat
- Metal detectable nylon
Synthetic filaments are most commonly seen in our Fineset™ brushes due to the wide variety of densities, spirals and trims available. When a more aggressive scrubbing action is needed, Tufted™ brushes are used. DBC brushes are used when extreme density is needed.
Constructions are available in a variety of spirals, densities (in bristles per square inch), and bristle trim lengths.
