Horsehair for brushes
Selected horsehair for brush manufacturing, available in different qualities, colours, lengths and preparations according to the application, required quality level and customer production requirements.
A versatile natural fibre
Horsehair is a natural fibre traditionally used in the manufacture of many different types of brushes.
Its characteristics of elasticity, flexibility and strength make it suitable for a variety of applications, with the material selected according to the characteristics required in the finished product.
Horsehair can be selected according to colour, length, structure and degree of stiffness in order to identify the most suitable solution for the manufacturer's requirements.
Horsehair selected according to the application
Colour
Horsehair can be selected in different colours according to the required characteristics and the appearance of the finished product.
Length
Different lengths make it possible to adapt the material to the construction characteristics of the brush and the manufacturing process.
Stiffness
The degree of stiffness is evaluated according to the action required from the brush and the surface on which it will be used.
Machine-processed horsehair for automatic brush-making machines
For brush manufacturing with automatic machines, A.S.&C. can supply pure horsehair specifically machine-processed to obtain clean material prepared for use in automated production equipment.
Correct preparation of the horsehair is particularly important in automated processes. Material that has not been properly processed and cleaned can cause difficulties when feeding the machine, resulting in interruptions to the production cycle and consequent production downtime.
Using properly processed and cleaned horsehair helps ensure more consistent material feeding and contributes to reducing the risk of interruptions caused by the condition of the raw material.
Horsehair and fibre combinations
In addition to pure horsehair, blends of different fibres can be used in brush manufacturing to achieve specific characteristics of stiffness, elasticity, flexibility and strength.
Horsehair can be combined with other natural fibres, such as Tampico fibre, or used as a component in blends developed according to the characteristics required in the finished product.
