Paint Brushes Construction

Standard paint brushes are manufactured by inserting durable natural or synthetic fill into a plastic, wire or wood handle. The filaments are then secured using a high-quality, rust-resistant metal ferrule. The round or flat metal ferrule is tightly bound around the handle of the brush, balancing the bristles to prevent the brush tip from losing its shape. The bristles are set in epoxy and the handles are solvent resistant to extend brush life.
