Which Compound to Use to Manufacture a Brush Bristle Component

What Is It?

NEXXALON™ PA66 Unfilled Compound, extruded into filament form for bristle applications.

How It's Manufactured

PA66 resin is compounded and extruded into filament, drawing on the resin's self-lubricating flow characteristics for a smooth, consistent bristle diameter.

Manufacturing Process for This Application

Bristles are extruded as continuous filament and cut to length, relying on PA66's abrasion resistance to survive repeated brushing contact without excessive wear.

Why Polymer Choice Matters Here

A bristle flexes with every stroke of use and drags against an abrasive surface constantly — a less abrasion-resistant or less flexible filament would wear down or snap far faster than PA66's combination of properties allows.

Why This Compound Is Suited

"Brushes & bristle" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.

Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of PA66 compounds for brush bristle applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
