Material
Mountain Palm Fiber
Mountain Palm Fiber 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
Arenga fiber is obtained from the Arenga palm and is processed and sorted as natural brush or broom fill.
In a finished brush, Mountain Palm Fiber does not create a fixed stiffness by itself. Brush force and recovery come from the complete filament geometry and contact setting, not just the polymer name. Service conditions must also be considered.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key properties of Mountain Palm Fiber brush material?
Arenga fiber is obtained from the Arenga palm and is processed and sorted as natural brush or broom fill. Direct data: Fiber diameter: 200–600 µm; Use temperature: up to 120°C; Brush stiffness: firm; Water absorption: moderate; Abrasion behavior: strong natural scrubbing.
Where is Mountain Palm Fiber used in cleaning brushes?
Outdoor sweeping, deck scrubbing and coarse wet cleaning where robust natural-fiber contact is wanted.
How does filament geometry change Mountain Palm Fiber brush stiffness?
Mountain Palm Fiber 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 Mountain Palm Fiber be replaced by another material?
Compare Mountain Palm Fiber with Tampico, coconut fiber, polypropylene, bassine. Change material when wet stiffness, temperature, chemical resistance, conductivity, particle shedding, or surface marking becomes the limiting factor.
