Wheel Brushes Are Very Different: Plastic Brush Bristle VS Animal And Plant Brush Bristle, Which One Is More Suitable For Your Needs?
In the cleaning and polishing industry, wheel brush is an important tool and is widely used in many fields such as home, industry, and art. The performance and effect of wheel brush depends largely on the material of its brush bristles. This article will introduce plastic brush bristle wheel brushes (represented by nylon and PP) and animal and plant brush bristle wheel brushes (represented by horse hair and sisal) in detail, and explore their characteristics, uses, advantages and disadvantages.
Plastic Brush Bristle Wheel Brush
Nylon Wheel Brush
Nylon wheel brush, like copper center wheel brush, as a synthetic polymer material, nylon has many excellent properties, making it an ideal choice for wheel brush bristles. Nylon brush bristles are soft and wear-resistant, and can maintain their shape and elasticity during long-term use, and are not easily deformed. Its good heat resistance and toughness allow nylon wheel brushes to work at higher temperatures without losing performance, and are particularly suitable for occasions that require strong cleaning power and wear resistance, such as industrial cleaning, kitchen cleaning (such as pot brushes, dishwashing brushes), and facial cleaning brushes in the beauty industry.
In addition, nylon brush bristles also have good alkali and weak acid resistance and can remain stable in a variety of chemical environments, further broadening its application range. However, the relatively high cost of nylon materials has limited nylon wheel brush’s widespread application in low-cost products to a certain extent.
PP Wheel Brush
PP (polypropylene) wheel brush is known for its low cost, high hardness and good chemical stability. PP material is non-toxic, odorless, tasteless, and has low density. It is one of the lightest varieties of all plastics at present and is very suitable for occasions that require lightness and durability. PP brush bristles have low water absorption and are not easily deformed by moisture. At the same time, they can resist the erosion of most acids, alkali and organic solvents. Therefore, wheel brush for cleaning is widely used in household hygiene cleaning (such as brooms, medium and large outdoor cleaning brushes) and industrial cleaning.
Although PP brush bristles are hard, they are easier to deform and less resilient than nylon. However, their low price makes PP wheel brush more competitive in situations where cost control is strict. In addition, the easy processing of PP materials has also promoted its widespread application in wheel brush manufacturing.
Animal and Plant Brush Bristle Wheel Brush
Horsehair Wheel Brush
As a natural material, horsehair occupies a place in wheel brush manufacturing with its unique softness and toughness. The brush bristles of horsehair wheel brush are fine and elastic, and can clean deep into the subtle places while protecting the surface being cleaned from damage. This characteristic makes horsehair wheel brush widely used in high-end furniture polishing, jewelry and jade polishing, and beauty and skin care.
The natural texture of horsehair brush bristles also gives the polishing brush a unique touch, allowing users to feel more comfortable and pleasant during use. However, as a natural resource, horsehair is in limited supply and relatively expensive, which to some extent limits the popularity of horsehair wheel brush.
Sisal Wheel Brush
As a tough plant fiber, sisal has emerged in the wheel brush manufacturing with its high strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Sisal brush bristles are stiff and durable, especially suitable for occasions that require strong cleaning and polishing, such as industrial cleaning, stone polishing and outdoor cleaning. Its high hardness and wear resistance enable the sisal wheel brush to maintain efficient cleaning effects during long-term use.
In addition, sisal materials are environmentally friendly and renewable, which conforms to the concept of modern green development. However, similar to horsehair, sisal as a natural material also has the problems of limited supply and high price, which limits its application range to a certain extent.
Whether it is a plastic brush bristle wheel brush or an animal or plant brush bristle wheel brush, they each have their own unique advantages and range of application. Nylon and PP, as representative materials of plastic brush bristle, perform well in terms of cost control, durability and chemical stability; While horsehair and sisal, as representative materials of animal and plant brush bristle, are favored for their natural texture, softness and environmental friendliness. When choosing a wheel brush, you should choose the appropriate brush bristle material according to the specific use environment and needs to achieve the best cleaning and polishing effect.
