Horse Hair Strip Brushes
Spiral Brushes offers horse hair strip brushes, manufactured using natural fibers from the mane or tail. Horse hair fiber has good polishing and cleaning properties, suitable for applications where a metal wire brush material or synthetic filament may not be appropriate.
Spiral Brushes’ horse hair is produced from the mane or tail hair, and normally we stock stiff black horse hair, although other specifications, such as soft grey, are available to meet customer requirements. Horse hair provides the ability to polish, dust, or clean the surface without being abrasive, and offers a wet operating temperature up to 400° F. Horse hair can be mixed with other natural fibers, synthetics, or wire materials for specific application requirements.
Horse Hair Strip Brush Options
A synthetic alternative to horse hair strip brushes has been developed in the past few years. Consideration may be given to each of the options when choosing brush fill materials.
