Products: Custom and Special Brushes

Since 1951 Gordon Brush has been manufacturing Custom and Special Brushes. Gordon Brush currently has a brush on the moon, a brush on JPL's Cassini spacecraft, and has a brush that launched on JPL/NASA's Mars Volatiles and Climate Surveyor in January, 1999. Down on earth, Gordon Brush has the capability to manufacture any brush to suit your specific needs. We have a team of expert design engineers that can help you select the brush materials most appropriate for your application, and provide computerized modeling of your design. This allows for the rapid creation of computer based prototypes, if they are required. It also allows for fast production of your product. Our design engineers have extensive experience in a variety of applications and will work with you to determine a brush that suits your needs.

Brush Sizes and Style almost completely depend on your application. The only issues we have are imposed by equipment constraints. Our equipment is state of the art machinery that manufacturers the widest variety of sizes possible. Talk to Gordon Brush about your application and we will work with you to make the product you need.

The fill material used in the brush can come from natural, synthetic, or metal sources. The use of the brush will determine the types of fill and core or base material to be used. For example, natural bristle is used where static cannot build up, where wire will scratch or liquids are involved. Synthetic materials are often used for general purpose applications, and where durability is of concern. There are special Synthetics such as Thunderon (static dissipative) or Conductive Nylon (conductive) that are excellent for removing static buildup from the working surface. Metal materials are used for more heavy duty cleaning or against other metal surfaces.

To stiffen a brush, shorten the trim length or use a larger diameter bristle. To lengthen the life of a brush, use the softest fill material appropriate for the job.
