CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF FILL MATERIAL


Understanding the different types of fill materials and their uses will help you choose the right brush for any application. There are many different bristle materials out there to create the perfect industrial brush. Because it’s important to understand the brush fill characteristics for your specific application, our experts can help guide you through this selection process.

To start, there are three main bristle material categories the industrial cleaning world uses: synthetic, natural and wire. Let’s take a closer look into what benefits, characteristics and attributes each of these categories provide users.


Synthetic Fill Material –
CHARACTERISTICS: Easy to clean and does not scratch fragile surfaces while still providing excellent bend recovery, abrasion, chemical resistance, and overall break strength.
USES: Applications include general purpose cleaning, buffing, dusting, and wet scrubbing.

Natural Fill Material
CHARACTERISTICS: Ideal for sweeping light-weight particles or removing dust while still having excellent bend recovery and break strength.
USES: Applications include general purpose cleaning, buffing, dusting, and wet scrubbing.

Wire Fill Material
CHARACTERISTICS: Excellent abrasion and wear resistance attributes with an equally good bend recovery.
USES: Applications can include heavy-duty cleaning, deburring (like rust removal or burnishing), and delicate finishing or polishing projects as well.
