Product Overview

Synthetic fiber brushes are paintbrushes made with synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon, acrylic, etc.). Through a bristle-mimicking structure (sharpened + forked), they achieve high paint absorption and even paint release, and have largely replaced natural bristle brushes.

Product Classification

Type	Features	Applicable Scenarios
Nylon Brush	It has excellent elasticity, strong wear resistance, good brushing feel, and can produce a smooth paint film.	Water-based paints and latex paints for smooth surfaces, as well as wood finishes that require fine trimming..
Pure Polyester Brush	Excellent elasticity, strong abrasion resistance, good brushing feel, produces a smooth paint film.	In applications where solvent resistance is required, such as oil-based paints, polyurethane paints, and varnishes.
Nylon/polyester hybrid brush	The elasticity of nylon and the toughness and solvent resistance of polyester.	It is suitable for almost all home decoration and engineering scenarios.

Advantages compared to pig bristles

Indicators	Synthetic fibers	Natural pig bristles
Paint absorption	High, forked needle tips lock in paint	Higher, natural scaly structure
Abrasion resistance	Excellent, solid PET/nylon is not easy to break	Moderate, easily splits when damp
Price	Low, only 30-50% of pig bristles	High, and increases with feeding costs
Suitable coatings	Water-based, UV, and oil-based	Oil-based is best, water-based coatings are prone to bristle collapse
Environmentally friendly	No animal-derived material, wastewater is easy to treat	Requires hair removal and bleaching, significant pollution
