Material
Mohair
Mohair is selected from its stiffness, recovery, wear, wet-service, chemical, and temperature behavior. For brush stiffness, do not give only the material name. Filament diameter, free trim, density, grade, and service conditions must be specified together.
Material Overview
Mohair is a fine animal hair used as brush fill or a cleaning-contact element.
In a finished brush, Mohair does not create a fixed stiffness by itself. Contact performance comes from the filament geometry and installed setting; grade, moisture, heat, and chemistry determine how it performs over time.
