Material
Corrugated Filament
Corrugated Filament is selected from its stiffness, recovery, wear, wet-service, chemical, and temperature behavior. To define stiffness, confirm the material together with filament diameter, free trim length, density, grade, and service conditions.
Material Overview
Corrugated filament is monofilament formed into a consistent wave or texture to increase volume per tuft and alter contact coverage.
In a finished brush, Corrugated Filament does not create a fixed stiffness by itself. Working stiffness and recovery depend on filament size, free trim, density, tuft pattern, and contact. Grade and operating conditions determine how stable that behavior remains.
Material Properties
| Filament diameter | 0.15–1.50 mm |
|---|---|
| Crimp amplitude | 0.2–1.5 mm |
| Crimp pitch | 2–12 mm |
| Bulk increase | 15–50% over straight fill |
| Use temperature | set by base polymer |

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key properties of Corrugated Filament brush material?
Corrugated filament is monofilament formed into a consistent wave or texture to increase volume per tuft and alter contact coverage. Direct data: Filament diameter: 0.15–1.50 mm; Crimp amplitude: 0.2–1.5 mm; Crimp pitch: 2–12 mm; Bulk increase: 15–50% over straight fill; Use temperature: set by base polymer.
Where is Corrugated Filament used in cleaning brushes?
Dense rollers, washing brushes and liquid applicators where crimp increases face fullness and fluid carrying.
How does filament geometry change Corrugated Filament brush stiffness?
Corrugated Filament changes brush stiffness through filament diameter, free trim, density, crimp, and contact. Use finer filament and longer trim for conformable contact; use coarser filament, shorter trim, or higher density for stronger displacement or cutting.
When should Corrugated Filament be replaced by another material?
Compare Corrugated Filament with Straight filament, flagged filament, textured filament, hollow or shaped profile. Change material when wet stiffness, temperature, chemical resistance, conductivity, particle shedding, or surface marking becomes the limiting factor.
