Polyethylene (PE) offers distinct advantages for food-grade brushing:
Inherently Inert: PE does not react with food acids or oils and won't impart any taste or odor.
Moisture Proof: It absorbs virtually no water, preventing bacterial growth and maintaining its properties in wet environments.
Low-Temperature Flexibility: It remains flexible in cold wash water, ensuring effective and gentle cleaning of delicate produce.
Excellent Chemical Resistance: It withstands common food-grade sanitizers and cleaning solutions.
