Highlights
- Static-neutral bristles will prevent static buildup
- Natural taper in the bristles helps clean detailed profiles
- Split-ends at the tips of hair act like fine feathers
- Fiber softness will not scratch parts
- Can be used in wet or dry environments
- Natural fibers have much higher absorption rate than synthetics
- Brushes using natural fibers tend to “load-up” more
- Not suited for use in environments with harsh chemicals
- Low bending fatigue resistance limits brush life
- Natural fiber brushes are more susceptible to supply chain issues
Natural fiber brushes can be wound using our Fineset™, Tufted™, and Double Band Channel (DBC) winding technologies. Natural fibers are most commonly seen in our Fineset™ brushes.
Constructions are available in a variety of spirals, densities (in bristles per square inch), and bristle trim lengths.
