Brush & Bristle Guide

Choose the best brush for your specific application. To prevent bacteria growth, synthetic materials are the

best choice with high quality natural materials a good alternate. Our fine selection of bristles offers you a

choice of solutions for any application.

SYNTHETIC BRISTLES

Nylon – Excellent abrasion resistance, shear/break strength, and bristle bend recovery. Very good

chemical resistance and sustains temperatures up to 350°F. Best choice for abrasive, rough use.

Abrasive  Nylon – DuPont filament with silicon carbide in each bristle is designed for use in

general light scrubbing to heavy-duty scrubbing and stripping. Tynex® A Nylon cleans floors faster

and reaches into grout lines for thorough cleaning.

Polyester – Excellent chemical resistance, ultra violet light resistance, and bristle bend recovery.

Very good abrasion resistance, and tear/break strength. Sustains temperatures up to 350˚F. Best

choice for all around use and for extreme exposure to cleaning chemicals.

Polypropylene – Excellent chemical resistance to acids, oils, fungus, and bacteria growth. Good

abrasion resistance, and shear/break strength. Sustains temperatures up to 225°F. Best choice as

an economical synthetic foodservice alternative to natural fibers.

NATURAL BRISTLES

Horsehair – A natural pointed tip, good shear/break resistance, and soft cleaning properties. Good

durability and excellent blending properties makes this an ideal choice for interior floor sweeps

when blended with other fibers.

Tampico – Natural Tampico fiber from the Mexican agave plant is a soft to medium soft bristle with

very good durability. Good choice for finer floor sweeps and general cleaning scrub brushes.

Stainless Steel Wire – Rust proof, excellent chemical resistance, excellent bend recovery,

provides a high degree of abrasion and wear resistance. Best foodservice choice for aggressive

cleaning on grills and other heavily soiled foodservice equipment.

Carbon Steel Wire – Provides a high degree of abrasion and wear resistance. Good bend

recovery. Best choice for aggressive cleaning on grills and other heavily soiled equipment.

Brass Wire – Rust resistant, provides a high degree of abrasion but is softer than

stainless steel or carbon steel to prevent equipment damage. For use on ovens,

griddles, and other metal equipment that is heavily soiled but cannot sustain

heavy scratches.
