Parts Cleaning Brushes Construction

Standard parts cleaning brushes are manufactured by inserting durable natural or synthetic fill into a metal or wood handle and securing either through a plating process or using a ferrule. The bristles are set in epoxy and the handles are solvent resistant to extend the life of the brush. Most utility brushes, including most of our parts cleaning brushes, use a metal ferrule in their construction. The high-quality metal ferrule should remain tightly secured and resistant to rust.

The Tin Handle Brush is an example of a brush that is produced using a plating process. The filament is inserted into a tin tube and then an enormous amount of pressure is applied to securely clamp the tin onto each of the fibers. The amount of weight that is used in this process reduces the brushes desire to shed fibers during use, especially when applying a viscose substance.
