HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BRUSH 

The Right Brush Starts with the Application. Choosing a brush is not simply about selecting the right shape. The performance of a brush depends on how its filament, density, geometry, dimensions, base material and construction interact with the application. Before selecting a brush, consider:

What Does the Brush Need to Do? Is the purpose to:

• Clean?Remove dust, particles, residue or unwanted material. 
• Guide? Control, direct or position a product or material.
• Protect? Prevent contact, reduce impact or protect a surface. 
• Polish or Finish? Treat a surface while achieving a specific finish.
• Separate? Control the movement or distribution of materials.
• Convey or Handle? Move products or materials through a process.
• Groom or Care? Provide controlled and comfortable contact with hair, skin or an animal.
• Perform a Special Function? Solve a requirement that does not fit a conventional brush category.  

Five questions we ask from our cliets

01 — What is the application?

Understanding the task is the first step toward the right brush.

02 — What is the surface or material?

The surface being contacted strongly influences filament type, stiffness and brush construction.

03 — What are the operating conditions?

Speed, temperature, pressure, moisture, chemicals, continuous operation and other environmental factors may affect the brush design.

04 — What level of contact is required?

The required flexibility, density, filament diameter, trim and brush geometry depend on how the brush interacts with the application.

05 — What are the dimensional requirements?

Available space, mounting method, working width, diameter, length and connection details all ma
