Perlon® The Filament Company

Hahl: SBF and ABR
A brush would not be a brush without bristles or fibres. The many diverse properties of plastic materials and engineered polymers give brush manufacturers the advantage of being able to have synthetic filaments tailor-made to fit their specific application.
Perlon® manufactures filaments from all the main polymer groups required for use in a wide variety of brush and tool applications – Abrasive Filaments in Nylon 6, 610 and 612, Polyamide (Nylon) 6, 66, 610, 612, 12, Polyester PBT and PET, Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PPN). These products are supplied in a range of diameters (0,075mm/3 mils to 3,00mm/118 mils) and grit sizes (36 to 4000) for Abrasive Filaments.
Perlon®’s service based approach to the brush industry led to the conception of its long established range of standard products, available to all customers for quick delivery from stock.
Synthetic Brush Filaments

Duramid® - a low cost alternative based on Nylon 6
Polymex® - a PVC replacement for sweeps and brooms
PBT anti bac – an anti microbial treated PBT for added value hygiene applications
PBT metal detectable – filaments that can be detected by X-ray machinery for added safety in food processing applications
Bilon® - an additive to promote longer life in high Ph (7-13) areas, typically used in the steel industry
WP40 – heat stabilised PPN for hot wet applications in the steel industry
Anti static and conductive Nylon 6 – a non coated filament for all areas requiring static control
UL94V0 rated Nylon 6 – a self extinguishing flame retardant filament for areas where safety is a critical factor (eg. Construction industry).
Abrasive Filaments

In addition to standard grit types in SiC, AO, Ceramic and DM, Perlon® is able to call upon years of experience in abrasive filament production to combine grit types in the same filament or produce different diameter and grit size combinations to achieve solutions for the most challenging of applications.
Perlon®’s latest addition to their range of high temperature resistant abrasive filaments AbraMaXXTM offers superior bending stiffness and abrasion performance compared to all other abrasive filaments on the market, whilst withstanding continuous working temperatures of 150°C without smearing. This product enables end users to consider stopping the use of messy coolants, previously required to extend the lifetime of filaments.
Multifilaments
Perlon® offers a wide range multifilament products for use in the production of coiled strip roller brushes and tufted brushes. Applications include cleaning, degreasing and deburring of flat steel coils and glass washing. These filaments are manufactured using the highest quality raw materials with the full ‘Made in Germany’ quality guarantee.
The benefits of multifilaments include higher cleaning capacity, long lifetime and lower risk of filament breakage. Perlon®’s standard range covers the full spectrum of chemical resistance required for these applications.
