When manufacturing a brush, several factors must be taken into account such as the material, the dimensions of the brush, direction of the fibers, etc., since depending on the use of the brush and these factors change. It is to this factor, the material of the brush fibers that we will dedicate this week’s post.
The following table helps us to easily identify which fibers would be more suitable depending on the properties we want to achieve and the materials we are going to work with.
As can be seen in the table, there are synthetic, natural, metallic and special fibers, each of them has different applications and materials, and react differently to different situations. The colors help us to see easily if it is a suitable use (in green) or unsuitable (in red).
Another option is the use of combined fibers of various materials, which is widespread in the field of street cleaning. Thanks to the combination of different fibers, such as polypropylene and laminated steel, it is possible to extend the life of some brushes while maintaining optimum street cleaning.
