BrushMake's PBT Tapered filaments are specifically designed to enhance cleaning efficacy and comfort. The tipping process refines the filament ends:
Single Tapered Filament: The tip of the filament is precision-ground to a fine, smooth point. This design allows bristles to reach deeper into the sulcus (the space between tooth and gum) and between teeth for improved plaque removal, while the fine tip provides a gentle feel on the gums.
Double Tapered Filament: The filament is tapered not only at the very tip but also further up the shaft. This creates an ultra-fine, flexible tip for exceptional gentleness, combined with a stronger base for support. It offers the ultimate in gum comfort and is often recommended for sensitive teeth and gums.
Combined with PBT Benefits: Both types retain the core advantages of PBT: high durability, low water absorption, and excellent color fastness.
PBT Tapered filaments are the top choice for premium gum-care toothbrushes, sensitive toothbrushes, and any application where maximizing comfort and interdental cleaning is the primary goal. As your expert partner, BrushMake can guide you in selecting the optimal tipping style for your product.
