What are Brush Bristles Made of? Synthetic Fill

Synthetic Fill Material

Gordon Brush's selection of synthetic fill brushes includes abrasive brushes and buffs, flow thru brushes, forensic brushes, cleaning brushes, ESD and clean room brushes, and much more. Some of the synthetic fill materials we use are: carbon steel, fiberglass, nylon (abrasive; type 6; type 6.6; type 6.12, conductive; static dissipative), polyester, PEEK, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, PTFE, Taklon, and Thunderon®.

Carbon Steel

Carbon fiber is a very fine [0.00030] fiber of 94% pure carbon. The fiber has a tensile strength of 525 Ksi, a tensile modulus of 33 Msi, and an electrical resistivity of 0.00055 Ohms-in.

Fiberglass

Fiberglass brushes are manufactured from spun glass in two grades of material: course and fine. A gentle brushing action cleans and polishes a variety of surfaces, metallic and non-metallic. Fiberglass brushes will not contaminate or alter the electrical properties of the surfaces cleaned. They are ideal for cleaning printed circuit boards, precious metal surfaces, electrical contacts, solder joints, motor commumatators, or removing epoxy, epoxy adhesives, rust, paint oxidation, corrosion, etc. They may also be used for cleaning and polishing plastic molds.

Nylon

Abrasive Nylon

Abrasive nylon is a long wearing filament impregnated with silicon carbide particles. We stock several filament diameters and silicon carbide particle sizes.

Nylon - Type 6

Nylon - Type 6 provides a good durable nylon with good recovery, temperature stability and abrasion resistance at a low cost.

Nylon - Type 6.6

Nylon - Type 6.6 is a top quality, medium- priced with higher stiffness, recovery, and abrasion resistance than type 6. It has the highest heat distortion temperature of the three nylons at 300°F.

Nylon - Type 6.12

Nylon - Type 6.12 is a superior type nylon used in applications calling for low water absorption. It has excellent bend recovery, and abrasion resistance. This is the highest-grade nylon and they resist rot and mildew and discourage bacterial growth. Type 6.12 Nylon bristles are FDA approved and widely used in medical brushes, pharmaceutical brushes and food service brushes.

Nylon – Conductive

Conductive nylon is a type of 6.6 nylon with an electrically conductive coating suffused onto the surface for antistatic bristle brush applications.

Static Dissipative Nylon

Static Dissipative Nylon is a type 6.12 Nylon with a surface resistivity of 109 that does not shed or slough and is clean room compatible. This also includes Statigo 9, a static dissipative nylon that is thick enough to do mechanical work, and does not shed or slough and is clean room compatible.

Polyester

Polyester bristle is a polymer that replaces horsehair. Its features of toughness and high temperature resistance resemble those of Nylon, but Polyester is noted for its ability to recover without whip or slapping action – it will not mat. Polyester has excellent resistance to all acids, alkalis, alcohols, gasoline, benzene and most cleaning solvents. It is a medium- priced filament that resists mildew, bacteria and fungus growth.

PEEK

PEEK is a durable thermoplastic that offers good chemical resistance and is ideal for high heat and corrosive environments. Peek provides excellent flexural and tensile strength up to 480°F and is a great alternative to polypropylene.

Polyethylene

Polyethylene is a soft durable material suitable for applications where abrasion is to be avoided. These flexible bristles are very efficient for thorough washing and polishing of delicate fruits and vegetables. Polyethylene is ideal for soft wiping instead of a brushing action.

Polypropylene

Polypropylene is a versatile low cost filament used for a wide variety of applications. Polypropylene will not absorb moisture or odors and sheds dirt easily. It has excellent wet stiffness, abrasive tip cleaning action, non- brittle, and is inert to most solvents, oil, acids, and chemicals. It is, in fact, one of the most chemically resistant synthetic filament materials.

Polystyrene

Polystyrene is a material that has replaced natural bristles for use where chemical resistance is needed. Its stiff aggressive properties make it ideal for utility brushes, coffee urn brushes, deck scrub brushes, and floor and garage brushes. Polystyrene bristles wear longer, perform better, and yet carry a comparable price tag to natural bristles.

PTFE

A Polymer that is inert to most chemicals, resistant to strong mineral and oxidizing acids, along with alcohols, ketones, ethers, amines, esters, chlorinated compounds and common cleaning solvents. PTFE has excellent property resilience up to 500°F.

Taklon

Taklon is made out of thermoplastic polyester, sometimes referred to as PBT (Polybutylene Therephthalate). Taklon mimic the characteristics of natural sable. It is a bit softer than the earliest nylon brushes and a touch better at picking up powder than nylon, but not by much. Talkon artist brushes hold their shape and maintain their fine points under the toughest conditions.

Thunderon®

Thunderon® is an acrylic fiber that has been chemically bonded with a layer of copper sulfide. This outer layer becomes a part of the host fiber itself, which precludes the 'flaking' problem experienced by other conductive fibers. The fiber diameter is as fine as 0.004 cm (0.0015") and its conductive layer is a super thin 300-1,000A (angstroms). It has electrical specific resistance of 101 - 102 Ω /cm.

Gordon Brush is well stocked with standard brushes using these materials. However, if you don't see what you are looking for, we can always customize a brush for you.

What are Brush Bristles Made of? Natural & Wire Fill

Everybody uses a brush for something, every day. The "working" part of the brush is the bristles. In the brush industry, the term "bristles" usually applies to a material that comes from a special kind of pig/hog. But hog bristles are not the only type of material used in brushes. For this reason, we use "FILL" material as a more generic term to refer to the working part of the brush.

Fill material can be broken down into three categories: Natural, Wire, and Synthetic.

Natural Fill Material

Gordon Brush® offers a wide selection of natural fill brushes for all applications: acid/sash brushes, flow thru brushes, artist brushes, forensic brushes, medical instrument brushes, and much more. Some of the natural fill materials we use are: hog bristle, horsehair, camel hair, goat hair, ox hair, Palmyra, pure red sable, red sable, sabeline, squirrel hair, Tampico, and a mixture of Tampico and horsehair.

              

Hog Bristle

Hog bristle is relatively scarce and expensive. This material has characteristics that set it apart as the best natural filling material for a wide variety of bristle brushes. Each strand of bristle has a natural taper from the butt or flesh end to the tip, giving it resilience not found in other hairs. In addition, the tip end of each bristle is naturally split into two or more branches called the flag. Hog bristle has a slightly stiff to very stiff texture and is brown or black in color excellent for ESD applications. It has excellent durability and water resistance.

               Horsehair

Horsehair is a medium to high cost material. Tail hair is stiffer than mane hair. Its soft to slightly stiff texture gives a scratch- free dry cleaning and has very good durability. Not resistant to acids or alkalis. Used for buffing, cleaning, dusting, and finishing in a variety of brush styles: floor sweeps, shoe shine brushes, tin handle acid brushes, counter dusters, and window brushes, excellent for ESD applications. Heat distortion temperature is 370°F.

Camel Hair

Camel Hair brushes are not usually made from camel hair. Rather, “camel hair” is a more generic term used for lower priced, soft hair that is commonly used for artist brushes.

Goat Hair

Goat hair is a very fine hair with limited elasticity. It has a natural kink that cannot be straightened. Used for short, soft bristle brushes like cosmetic brushes. Goat hair is available in natural black and white, and dyed in blue, brown, gold, green, gray, and purple.

Ox Hair

In proportion to its diameter, ox hair is perhaps the stiffest of all soft hairs. Ox hair is particularly sought after in artist or dental brushes for fine lettering, striping and marking brushes.

Palmyra

A cinnamon colored fiber produced from the base of the leaf stalks of the India Palmyra palm. It has a medium stiff to stiff texture and is light to dark brown in color. It is finer, less stiff, more brittle, and of lower quality than bassine. Used in garage floor brushes, fender washing brushes, deck brushes, and scrub brushes.

Pure Red Sable

Pure Red Sable hair has a perpetual taper, creating the finest point possible on a bristle brush.

Red Sable

The hair of the red sable is the most valuable of all soft hairs. It is very fine, has strong, sharp points and great elasticity and carries color well. Red sable hair makes the finest artists’ brushes, being particularly suited for use with Japan colors, oil colors and heavy- bodied sign- writing materials, and is best for fine lettering.

Sabeline

Sabeline hair comes from the ear hair of Oxen which are native to Northern Russian and Northern China. The hair is died to either a reddish or yellowish colors. Historically, Sabeline hair was sold as inexpensive Sable hair, and sometimes also as Red Sable hair. Sabeline is a good "go-to" brush for dry brush and for washes and fills. It does not have a tapered tip so is not great for detailed work. Sabeline hair diameter is larger than goat hair, but Sabeline has a great affinity for holding paint media plus a very smooth delivery. Sabeline makes a high quality long hair brush and that means it’s also excellent for organic lines and curves. Sabeline brushes are ideal for water based inks and paints.

Squirrel

Squirrel hair is divided into blue squirrel and Canadian squirrel. It is a very fine hair used for applying thin lacquers, Japan colors, light- bodied varnishes, and for general artwork, lettering and striping, as well as, cosmetic brushes.

Tampico

Tampico is produced in Mexico from the stalk of the Agave plant. Has a soft to medium texture and is off white in color. It is often dyed and blended to give the desired effects to a bristle brush. It is heat, alkali, and acid resistant. The porous fibers absorb water and work wet or dry. Tampico is more aggressive than nylon or horsehair. Used for removing surface particles and tool marks, dusting, wet scrubbing, cleaning, and spreading liquids. It is excellent for removing light feather burrs and for light edge blending when used with a compound. Heat distortion temperature is 283°F.

Wire Fill Material

Gordon Brush® has an extensive selection of wire fill brushes for all applications, including medical brushes, applicator brushes, conductive ESD brushes, clean room brushes, FDA-compatible brushes, and more. Some of the wire fill materials we use are: aluminum, brass, carbon steel, phosphor bronze, stainless steel, and titanium. Gordon Brush® also uses many of these materials in combination, for our two-headed brushes.

Aluminum

Aluminum is soft and non- corrosive. Bends easily and takes a set. It is recommended for special applications only. Brass: 360 alloy. Aluminum is the softest metal fiber available. It comes straight or crimped and is used for light to medium cleaning and luster finishing.

Carbon Steel

Carbon steel is available both tempered and un-tempered, in a variety of sizes, straight or crimped. This is a widely used metal fill material. It has excellent cutting ability and fatigue resistance for long brush life at a low cost. It is used for general- purpose cleaning, rust removal, deburring, edge blending, and roughing for adhesion.

Phosphor Bronze

C51000, phosphor bronze B, is non-sparking and about 1/5 as conductive as copper. It is stronger than brass [F73 Rockwell] and lasts longer. It resists corrosion and fatigue due to flexing.

Stainless Steel

Type 302 stainless is for wet and no rust applications in a variety of sizes, straight or crimped. Highly corrosion and heat resistant and unlike carbon steel, stainless steel does not leave after- rust deposits when used on stainless steel, aluminum, and other high strength alloys. However, once used on carbon steel it cannot be used on stainless steel or rusting can occur. Used in corrosive environments for general purpose cleaning, rust removal, deburring, edge blending, and roughing for adhesion. Stainless Steel is FDA approved and widely used in medical brushes, pharmaceutical brushes and food service brushes.

Cleaning During COVID-19

There is much to learn about the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Based on what is currently known about COVID-19, spread from person-to-person of this virus happens most frequently among close contacts (within about 6 feet). This type of transmission occurs via respiratory droplets. On the other hand, transmission of novel coronavirus to persons from surfaces contaminated with the virus has not been documented. Recent studies indicate that people who are infected but do not have symptoms likely also play a role in the spread of COVID-19.

Transmission of coronavirus occurs much more commonly through respiratory droplets than through fomites. Current evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 may remain viable for hours to days on surfaces made from a variety of materials. Cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection is a best practice measure for prevention of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in households and community settings.

It is unknown how long the air inside a room occupied by someone with confirmed COVID-19 remains potentially infectious. Facilities will need to consider factors such as the size of the room and the ventilation system design (including flow rate and location of supply and exhaust vents) when deciding how long to close off rooms or areas used by ill persons before beginning disinfection.  Taking measures to improve ventilation in an area or room where someone was ill or suspected to be ill with COVID-19 will help shorten the time it takes respiratory droplets to be removed from the air.

• Cleaning refers to the removal of germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces. It does not kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection.
• Disinfecting refers to using chemicals, for example, EPA-registered disinfectants, to kill germs on surfaces. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs, but by killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection.

Milwaukee Dustless Brush, a subsidiary of Gordon Brush®, has been manufacturing janitorial cleaning tools, since 1897. Milwaukee Dustless Brush has a full line of American made brooms, brushes, mops, and squeegees to help clean your facility, restaurant, office, or home.

All About Applicator Brushes

The broad purpose of an applicator brush is to pick up an adequate supply of a material from a container, carry it from the container to an application site, and apply the material uniformly and easily to the application site. The applicator brush must meet several mechanical requirements. The applicator brush should have: a certain stiffness or resiliency yet have smooth feedback; an affinity for the composition it is being used to apply, yet withstand contaminants; high wear resistance, elastic recovery, and twist retention.

Industrial applicator brushes are used in almost every industry imaginable; from manufacturing to food prep, healthcare and a lot more, these brushes can solve many problems and fill many different needs. Applicator brushes serve a variety of uses from applying paint, adhesives, solvents, flux or other liquids to cleaning hard-to-reach places in industrial environments. They are great to use to apply lubricants, polishing compounds, and flux to small parts and pipes. They can also used for dusting and surface cleaning as these brushes resist deterioration from heat.

Gordon Brush manufacturers two lines of industrial applicator brushes: Double-Ended Applicator Brushes and Single-Ended Applicator Brushes.

Double-Ended Applicator Brushes

These brushes have two sizes with two end styles (tapered and flat). The fill material fibers are mechanically clamped into either a Stainless Steel, or Zinc Plated Steel, 4-1/2" handle for maximum fiber retention. No adhesives are used that could leach out and contaminate surfaces being cleaned. Double-ended applicator brushes are available with the following fill material: Horsehair; Hog Bristle; Nylon; Static Dissipative; or Brass (the other end of the brass fill applicator brush is a sponge). All of the brushes in this category are either anti-static or static dissipative. Their primary usage for these brushes is in the electronics industry.

Single-Ended Applicator Brushes

The fill material fibers are mechanically clamped into a wider array of handle material and an overall length from 3-1/2" to 6". The various fill options include: Stainless Steel (stainless steel handle applicator brushes provide for excellent chemical resistance); Zinc Plated Steel (zinc plated steel handle applicator brushes are an inexpensive utility duster/cleaner that is an excellent replacement for disposable acid brushes that quickly shed fibers. Zinc plated steel handle holds the fibers in place by 5 tons of mechanical clamping and without any adhesives that could leach out and contaminate surface areas); Aluminum (the non-magnetic, lightweight aluminum handle is constructed with strong mechanical clamping for maximum fiber retention, and contains no adhesives that can leach out and contaminate surface areas), Brass (brass tube applicator brush are filled with 0.003 brass to suit the demands your working environment dictates. They all have strong mechanical fiber clamping for maximum fiber retention), or Plastic/Acetal (are pencil shaped applicator brush with rigid acetal handle and nylon fills. These brushes can withstand most sterilizing environments. The fill material is epoxy set with high temperature adhesive that is autoclavable as in many hospital, laboratory or pharmaceutical settings. These brushes are for use in situations where you need a round brush to clean fine areas. They work well for applying liquids or fluids).

Single-ended applicator brushes are available with the following fill material: Brass; Goat Hair; Horsehair; Hog Bristle, Nylon; Static Dissipative or Brass; PEEK; Polypropylene; Stainless Steel; PTFE; or Thunderon). All of the brushes in this category are either: anti-static, insulative, conductive, or static dissipative. These brushes have many uses across a wide diversity of industries and applications.

Bore Brushes and Beyond

When one thinks about a bore brush, one can think it is very boring, but it is actually, not. To most people, a bore brush generally refers to a relatively small twisted-in-wire or spiral brush that is used in gun cleaning. These spiral brushes are used to clean the inside the gun barrel, as called the bore of the gun.

While Gordon Brush^® does offer two, clearance stock, gun brushes (Part #’s: GUN-45-10-32 and GUN-50-10-32), with phosphor bronze fill material, these Parts are not the main products in Gordon Brushes line of bore brushes.

Instead, Gordon Brush’s line of industrial bore brushes, or chamber brushes, are hand or machine-operated, large diameter blind hole brushes that are designed to clean both the wall and the bottom of a hole. They are used when a spiral brush is not strong enough or thick enough to provide sufficient abrasion.

Our industrial line of bore brushes are offered with a choice of either: nylon, FDA Compliant nylon, or stainless steel fill material, with an overall length ranging from over 3" to 6, and a brush diameter from 2-1/2" to 10". One can also select a bore brush with either an HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) core. HDPE is a softer, more bendable plastic, whereas PVC is a much stronger and stiffer material. Because the bore brushes are inserted into a hole or chamber to clean the wall or the bottom of a hole, one end of brush is open and threaded. The threaded end is attached to a pole that enables the user to insert the brush into the orifice. Gordon Brush's bore brushes options include: ACME, broom, NTP (National Pipe Thread), or UNC (Unified Course) thread types.

Gordon Brush^® also manufactures a special type of chamber brush, called the "Tank Brush". The Tank Brush is manufactured for the United States Army. Gordon Brush® received a letter of commendation from the UnitedStates Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) for the development of a "Chamber Brush" that cleans the main gun on the Abrams Tank. The development of this brush saved the Army $1.5 billion. The Army's Director of Operations and Security Assistance, Integrated Logistic Support Center-TACOM said: "TACOM would like to express our sincere gratitude for your excellent work in supporting our war fighters in their efforts in Iraq. Your efforts have a positive impact in our fight for a democratic Iraq and the safe return of our war fighters. Again, thank you for your tremendous support to the United States Army."

Gordon Brush^® has been manufacturing industrial brushes in the United States since 1855. We are "Proud To Be An American Manufacturer"™.

How to Design Your Own Custom Brush

Gordon Brush®, the leader industrial brush manufacturing, offers over 17,000 different brushes. In addition to our everyday stock of 3,500 brushes, almost 50% of the brushes we manufacture are for custom brush applications. Gordon Brush® has made custom brushes for almost every industry imaginable and applications. These include brushes used in delicate surgical procedures, containing a snake, and brushes to support the United States military, just to name a few.

We can customize nearly every aspect of your industrial brush, including: fillmaterial, brush length, fill length, fill diameter, fill type, stiffness (trim length), density, coarseness, hole diameter, hole pattern, and base materials.

Tufted brushes consist of three main components:

• The core or block: Brush cores are typically made from plastic or wood blocks that feature drilled holes designed for the placement of the bristles.
• The fill material: The fill material of a brush is made up of strands of filaments that are held in place on the brush core by staples, wires, or epoxies.
• The handle: Many brushes also have a handle component which the user holds to work the brush for the specific application.

While the core and fill material are integral to the manufacture of a tufted brush, industry professionals can customize the design of these components to suit different needs. For example, they can choose various construction/fastening methods, bristle shapes, brush types, and more.

Staple setting:  This construction method involves driving the brush filament into drilled holes in the core and holding them in place with steel staples. Staple set brushes are available with a wide range of customization options, including: fill material, tuft pattern, size, and brush shape.

Epoxy Setting:  Similar to the staple setting method, this brush construction method requires the insertion of brush filaments into drilled holes in the brush core. However, rather than setting the fill material with steel staples, they are held in place with epoxy. This method makes a secure brush without staples that can be sterilized for medical applications. Due to the precision required to epoxy unstapled brushes, this method is generally performed manually, resulting in higher production costs.

Wire Drawing: Also known as Drawn-In-Wire, are made in a similar way to staple set and epoxy set brushes. However, instead of using staples or epoxies, manufacturers sew the brush filaments into place with metal wire or nylon cable. The wire or cable is tied around the middle of a filament tuft; the fill material is bent in half and the drawn bend point is firmly seated into the drilled hole before adding another knot to lock the filaments against the base of the brush. While allowing for secure attachment of the fill material, this method requires extensive manual labor, which often makes it more costly than the other two.

Designing a Custom Brush is easy with Gordon Brush®.  Gordon Brush® provides you with several options on how to go about designing a custom brush for your specific application:
