Industrial brushes are used for manufacturing processes in many industries. As such, they are often exposed to different conditions, work surfaces, and chemicals. It’s essential to select the right material to ensure your brush’s longevity.
Yew Lee Pacific provides 8 different bristle materials to suit all brush application types. Let’s learn about these material properties to help you select the best choice for your brushes.
Different bristle materials for your industrial brushes
1. Regular Nylon
Regular nylon is resilient, flexible, elastic, and withstands extreme heat and chemicals. It has a high moisture absorption rate and feels softer in wet or humid conditions.
2. Abrasive Nylon
Abrasive nylon contains abrasive grit on bristles which self-sharpens with use. It is excellent for deburring, polishing, and surface finishing.
3. Fire Retardant Nylon
Fire retardant nylon is safe and non-toxic with high resistance to fire, heat, and corrosion. It has high conductivity and reduces negative impacts of excessive electrostatic discharge.
4. Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
PBT has excellent strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. It withstands high impact, harsh chemicals, and abrasion. It has low water absorption and resists bacterial or fungal growth.
5. Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK)
PEEK is flexible, durable, and tough. It is suitable for non-abrasive brush action and withstands high temperatures.
6. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
PET is affordable and popular. It has low water absorption and resists bacterial or fungal growth. It has excellent chemical stability and resistance.
7. Stainless Steel
Stainless steel has excellent corrosion and heat resistance. It displays abrasive properties in high bristle densities. It withstands humid and wet conditions, and does not tarnish easily.
8. Brass
Brass is a soft metal fiber for delicate polishing and luster finishing. It is conductive and resistant to sparks, corrosion, and heat. It is fire-resistant and suitable for application in potentially explosive conditions.
