Staple Set Block Brush
Staple set block brushes typically feature a unique configuration of filaments or bristles to meet particular requirements. These brushes can be used to cover large areas, opposed to a line of space covered by a metal channel strip brush.
Composition of a tufted, staple-set brush
The customization opportunities on a staple-set brush are countless when considering hole configuration, fill type, fill density, trim length and trim shape.
Block Material
Wood or synthetic
Hole Pattern
Single-row or multiple-row, staggered or straight, a programmed hole pattern is drilled into the block. Hole size and spacing can be customized.

Each tuft is secured with a wire staple, which can be nickel silver, steel, stainless steel, or brass.

Straight bristles create a more compact surface.
Synthetic
Nylon
Good bend recovery, abrasion resistance, flex fatigue resistance, and chemical resistance.
Grade 6.0, 6.6, 6.12
Polypropylene
Versatile filament with excellent wet stiffness. Good bend recovery, but will take a set more easily than other material.
Polystyrene
Used widely for floor brushes, counter sweeps, and light duty applications.
Polyester
Ideal for wet applications since its water absorption is very low. Also excellent bend recovery and solvent resistance.
Natural
Horse Hair
Excellent durability. The soft to slightly stiff texture ensures gentle cleaning without scratches on polished surfaces. Produces very little static electricity.
Tampico
From the Agave plant grown in Mexico, with a natural cream color. Excellent for tasks that involve retaining liquid, scrubbing, and finishing surfaces.
Trim options
We offer a variety of trim options to meet your custom brush needs.
