Material Selection
Cleaning Brush Materials
Choose the fill by the conditions it works in: water, heat, chemicals and the surface it touches. Materials are grouped by family: synthetic filaments, natural and soft fibers, metal wire, abrasive filaments, antistatic and conductive fills, and the cores and bases that hold them.

How do I pick the right group?
Pick the family by the working condition, then compare its members on the numbers. Inside one family the differences are large: PA6 softens in water while PA612 does not, and 304 stainless can pit in chlorides where 316 holds up.
Which material groups are there?
Open a family to see every material in it and the products already built with them.

What does a material page tell me?
Each material page says what the material is, where we use it, how water, heat and chemicals affect it, where it falls short and what to tell us to quote it. Published figures are given as filament, fiber or alloy data, not as a finished-brush rating.
