FAQ for Broom Filaments

BrushMake's PP filament is the go-to material for garden, yard, and outdoor sweeping tools due to its specific property set:Excellent Weather & UV Resistance: Does not degrade or become brittle when exposed to sunlight, rain, or temperature variations, ensuring a long service life outdoors. Low Moisture Absorption & Floats: PP is hydrophobic (repels water) and has a low density, making brooms suitable for sweeping wet areas and even floating on water for poolside or marina cleanup. Lightweight and Stiff: Provides a good balance of stiffness for effective sweeping of leaves and grass clippings, while being lightweight for easy handling. Cost-Effective: Offers a durable and economical solution for high-volume or seasonal outdoor brooms. It is perfectly suited for garden brooms, leaf rakes, and brooms used around pools, patios, and driveways.

BrushMake's Double Tapered PET filament is an engineered solution that enhances sweeping performance through its unique bristle tip geometry:Superior Fine Debris Penetration: The finely pointed, tapered tips allow bristles to reach deep into cracks, textures, and carpet fibers to dislodge and lift embedded dirt, sand, and dust more effectively than standard cut-end filaments. Enhanced Aggitation and Dust Control: The tapered design increases the number of fiber contact points with the surface, improving the agitating action for better scrubbing and dust pickup. Maintains Core Durability: While the tips are fine, the filament retains the core strength, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance of standard PET, ensuring longevity even in tough conditions. This filament is ideal for power brooms, carpet sweepers, and utility brooms used on textured concrete or pavers where dislodging stubborn dirt is key.

BrushMake's PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) broom filament is specialized for applications where controlling dust and protecting surfaces are priorities:Inherent Anti-Static Properties: Naturally dissipates static electricity, preventing dust from being repelled, which results in superior dust pickup and control—essential for environments like electronics manufacturing, kitchens, and woodshops. High Flexibility & Softness: Softer and more flexible than PET, making it safe for use on delicate floors like epoxy coatings, vinyl, and polished wood without causing scratches or marks. Gentle Sweeping Action: Available in Non-flaggable PVC for smooth, controlled sweeping or Flaggable PVC for enhanced dry particle capture on smooth surfaces. Non-Marking: Ensures no black scuff marks are left on floors. Choose PVC filaments for dry sweeping in food processing, cleanrooms, retail spaces, and anywhere dust control and floor preservation are critical.

BrushMake's PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) filament is a superior choice for heavy-duty broom applications due to its outstanding properties:High Tensile Strength & Abrasion Resistance: Withstands intense use on rough surfaces like concrete, making it ideal for industrial floors, warehouses, and parking lots. Excellent Moisture & Chemical Resistance: Impervious to water, oils, and most common cleaning chemicals, ensuring long-lasting performance in wet or harsh environments. Versatile Sweeping Options: We offer both Non-flaggable PET for clean, efficient sweeping of fine debris (e.g., dust, sand) and Flaggable PET, where filaments split at the ends to create flags for capturing larger, lighter particles (e.g., leaves, paper scraps). Eco-Friendly Aspect: PET is a recyclable material. This filament is perfect for push brooms, street sweepers, and industrial scrubbing machines.
