Mohair
Fine animal hair
Mohair is a fine, soft animal hair from the Angora goat. As brush fill it is very soft and dense, for polishing, coating, dusting and optical or decorative surface cleaning. It absorbs liquid and wears in aggressive service, and it is not in our standard range.

What is mohair?
The hair of the Angora goat, fine and lustrous, used in soft, dense fills. It is softer and finer than horsehair and similar in use to goat hair.
Where would mohair make sense?
Polishing, applying coatings, dusting, and cleaning optical and decorative surfaces where the lightest, densest soft contact is wanted.
How hot can it run?
About -20 to 80°C as a general guide. Like other animal hair, it is best kept to ambient and moderate temperatures, and it should be kept dry between uses.
What are its limits?
It absorbs liquid, wears quickly in aggressive service and is not for high temperature or sanitary washdown. For a washable soft brush, fine nylon or PBT is more durable.
How do you ask for it?
Mohair is not in our standard range. Send the surface and the job; we will tell you whether we can source it, or recommend goat hair, horsehair or fine synthetic fill.

Dust Removal
Dust is moved, not dissolved, so the brush is chosen by what the dust is. Fine dense nylon or goat hair lifts fine dust without spreading it.
