What makes building brushes make. Overview of tassels for painting works. Maclovterns and handbones

Paint brushes remain the most affordable paintwork tool. The cheapness and simplicity have a root side of the medal - low productivity and uneven paint. To obtain a high-quality coating with one tassel, it is not necessary to do, and it is necessary to have a set of different species intended for various types of paint, different shape of the surface and volume of work.

Paint brushes: types and applications

Flip and chicken brushes

Machova The brushes are distinguished by a large diameter (60-65 mm) and a length of the hair beam up to 100 mm, designed for coloring, primer, or whitewashing large areas. When sold in the form of a beam, then called weights, if they have a regular view - piece. Weighing brush subsequently tied up and make handles of the desired length. The ability to bend taken initial shape characterizes the quality of the brush. According to GOST 10597-87, they have the designation of the CM.

Spinning The brush, due to its 200 mm width and a thickness of 45-65 mm, increases the productivity of the blots and leaves behind the clean surface of the color.

Maclovterns and handbones

(CMA) It is used for painting large surfaces with water-based paints, can replace a chicken brush. It has a round (diameter of 120 -170 mm) or a rectangular shape (135, 165 width, 195 mm and a thickness of 55-65 mm). The length of the working part of the round form reaches 100 mm, rectangular - up to 80 mm. After painting such a brush, the surface does not require flue.

Brushes-handbones It can be with an oval form of a beam (Cro) or a round (kr) diameter of up to 60 mm. The variety of cattle has a round hair, narrowing towards an end to the cone. It is made of natural bristles with the addition of horse-haired, small sizes and a meek handle cause work with small areas. Suitable for most paint species, if the beam is attached using a metal ring. In the case of attachment with glue, such a brush is not used with adhesive and water compositions.

If the brush has a too big length of the working part, then when working it will be soft and inelastic, such a pile will leave after itself an uneven layer of paint, as a result - lowercases and furrows on the surface. Using twine or other materials, brush brushes are tied up to the desired length.

Flush and flat brushes

and flat Brushes (KF and KP) have a rectangular shape of the working part. Widely used when painting with different types of paint and varnish coatings. Flots has a smaller thickness and leaves behind a more smooth and clean surface. Flat brushes, due to increased hair beam thickness, absorb more paint and apply for large areas. The width of the working part of flusted and flat brushes varies from 25 to 125 mm. The thickness in the flushes is 9-18 mm, in flat - 20-35 mm. With the help of flutsers with short hair, luster paint applies and reach the effect of moire during decorative finish.

Pile brushes and ending

Beam pilena Brushes (KFK) are made of round shape of a small size (8-18mm) of rigid pork bristles and is fastened in a metal cartridge. Designed for more accurate application of contour lines, narrow strips and painting in hard-to-reach places.

Brush-strikes (ART) is used to process just painted surfaces, gives a grungy look and is used for primer and decorative trim. Sizes of the rectangular working part: Width - 154 mm, thickness - 76 mm.

Species for special works

Brush for decorative trim

To a narrow flat brushes with a long curved handle and metal rim. Name radiator. This form allows you to paint the hard-to-reach surfaces of varying degrees of bend. It is not difficult to guess that they are used for painting heating batteries. The same brushes with a wide surface are used for external work.

A flat brush with a beveled pile is convenient when painting windows, and a dotted brush with a fastened bunch of a bundle, is used for tinted window frames.

For finishing edges and edges of painted surfaces, an edge brush is used. It is distinguished by the fact that bristled blocks can be changed.

Fan brushes in decorative and painting work are used for wide lines. Textural brushes made of pork bristles of various pile length are used in decorative trim. Can be made with related beams of various types of fibers, which are connected to the brushes of different widths.

What makes paint brushes make

In the modern production of painting and artistic brushes use such materials:

• Natural bristle. It has excellent ability to absorb and return all kinds of paint, except for water based paints. For the manufacture uses a ridge pork bristle. High-quality raw material assessment occurs with the help of measuring characteristics: elasticity, strength, length and thickness. The range of bristles reaches up to 77 mm long. The color is divided into: white, gray, yellow and black. White bristles is considered the highest quality and turns out by bleaching. The most important characteristic is the degree of natural splitting of the bristle.
• Natural hair. It has less elasticity and rigidity compared to the bristle, which is rarely used in pure form for painting works. Thanks to the scaled layer, perfectly absorb and give paint. Distinguish hard and slim hair. Hard get from horse and cow hair, and a thin out of the hair of fur animals. The use of natural hair depends on the characteristics: length, shapes, elasticity, softness, wear resistance.

The history of the use of natural hair in painting has several millennia. At different times, rats were used rats, Lans, raccoon, hare, livestock, badger, bear and other animals

• Synthetic fibers There are thin threads from polyester, polyester, nylon and other connections. They have high resistance to mechanical damage, good softness and elasticity, but insufficient paint fence. This problem is eliminated with the help of artificial cleavage of fiber tips and the creation of additional channels in the cavity. It is used for all types of paint, including water based. Every year the quality of the synthetic fiber grows through the development of innovative technologies.

Mixed (Natural and synthetic) A pile is used to combine the best characteristics of two types - wear resistance and holding ability. In addition, using synthetic fibers, you can adjust the elasticity, softness and other properties of the brush.

Prices for painting brushes

The abundance of producers of painting brushes and rollers makes the buyer make a solution for each need to buy a paint tool. In addition to the elementary knowledge of the diversity of species and areas of their application, whenever it is necessary to choose the optimal ratio of price and quality.

The price of painting brushes and artistic is largely determined by the quality of the material from which the pitch is made. And there is no direct dependence on what type of pile is used: natural, synthetic or mixed. For example, a professional flat brush of American Wooster brand from a nylon and polyester thread width 50 mm will cost about 1,100 rubles, while the brush from the natural high-quality bristle of the same manufacturer is 400-500 rubles.

Paint brushes are used to apply primer, paint, glue, varnish. Of course, it can be done any brush. But the question is as and complexity of application. Brushes are different not by chance. And they differ not only by price, but also the size, type of bristles, shape. Natural hair provides coating higher quality, synthetic brushes are more durable. Depending on the type of work, one or another type of painting brush is chosen.

Flat Brush (+ Flapse)

The flat brush is used for priming, staining and coating surfaces with varnish, especially if you need to get a smooth glossy surface. A flat brush is often called a flitz brush, as it is used for flourishing (smoothing) fresh-colored surfaces - the brush allows you to remove traces of rough staining and paint drums. For flourishing, a dry brush is used, which roll up paint. The work goes the most tips of the hair, without pressure, in the direction, the opposite direction of the paint. The brush is periodically cleaned of paint. Brush width: 25 - 100 mm.

Radiator brush

This is a kind of flat brush, but on a long curved handle. Using a radiator brush, you can paint any hard-to-reach place, even through a narrow slot. For this reason, radiator brushes are used when staining heating radiators, outside and inside; pipes and corners; gaps between profiles. The width of the brush can be the most different: from 20 to 150 mm.

Manual brush (handbrake)

The brush has a round shape. Designed for staining and priming small surface area. Before working to conserve elasticity and shape, the brush is tied with twine, leaving the length of the pile about 3-4 cm. The paint is gained in small portions, lowering a brush by 15-20 mm. As the brush is working, and the twine turns are unwound, increasing the length of the pile. The size of the brush varies from 26 to 54 mm.

Machi brush

This brush is also a round, but larger handbrake. Therefore, it is convenient when working on large areas: walls and ceiling. With the help of a mahow brush, you can brand, whiten and paint the surface. The handle of the brush is made by the hollow so that, if necessary, it was possible to put it on a long handle. A gentle brush is also tied up. Diameter of brushes: 60 - 65 mm.

Maclithus brush

Like a mahovy brush, the maclove is large. Its bundle of a large area easily covers the area of \u200b\u200blarge sizes. Like a flying brush, it can be increasing it with a long handle to increase productivity. Maclovterns are rectangular and round. They are used to apply aqueous solutions, and it does not fit for oil paint. Brush size: 100 - 200 mm.

Pilenk brush

Designed for "jewelry" work: applying a narrow strip of paint (panels) and staining of small hard-to-reach areas. Most of all, it resembles a large brush for drawing. Brush diameter: 6 - 18 mm.

All sizes

The size of the brush is also chosen in accordance with the tasks set. Wide brushes are intended for large areas, narrow - for small or narrow sections.


For this reason, for external work on a large area, as well as for walls and ceilings indoors, 8-10 cm wide brushes are taken to process corners - 5 cm with beveled edges, for decorative parts, window frames and plinths - 3-6 cm.

Brushes are made in accordance with GOST 10597-87.

Brush stands to the effects of solvents: acetone - at least 8 hours; Solvents 646, 647 - at least 1 hour. The temperature limit of the resistance of bright brightness is no less plus 70 degrees Celsius.

The warranty period of storage of brushes is 12 months from the date of manufacture.

Flapse brushes (KF) flat

Width of the working part: 25, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 90, 100 mm, the thickness of the working part 6, 10 and 14 mm.

Designed for processing (flue) of fresh-colored surfaces by smoothing the traces of the brush and getting a smooth glossy surface.

The working part consists of a pork brush beam (SOS 17-98-86) (OST 17-98-86), consisting of a white tin (GOST 13345-85) (GOST 13345-85). The handle is made of birch (GOST 2695-83).

Flace Radiator Brushes (KFR)

The variety of flusted brush, has a longer handle, and the clip has a bend. It is thanks to this radiator brush that it is easier to paint hard-to-reach places, especially it is convenient when painting heating radiators, sectional structures, remote angles, quarters and other indirectural designs.

Width of the working part: 25, 40, 50 mm, thickness 6 mm.

Brushes handbrake (cr)

Paint brushes from bristles genuine. Brushes are made in accordance with GOST 10597-87. Designed for primer and painting surfaces. The working part consists of a closure and a beam of a bristle (short) or horse-haired (km). Epoxy resin (GOST 20907-75) is used for fastening the pile beam (GOST 20907-75). White tin clip (GOST 13345-85). The knob round is accurate and grinding, made of birch (GOST 2595-83).

CP Series: Horse hair is fixed in a clip of polypropylene. The knob round is accurate and grinding, made of birch.

The diameter of the working part: 25, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70 mm.

Brushes flat from bristles (KHZHP)

Brushes are made in accordance with GOST 10597-87. Designed for primer, painting, as well as to cover surfaces with varnish. The working part consists of a pork brush beam (SOS 17-98-86) (OST 17-98-86), consisting of a white tin (GOST 13345-85) (GOST 13345-85). The handle is made of birch (GOST 2695-83).

Construction technologies are developing, but in the field of painting works, rollers and brushes are still basic tools. We were dedicated to the rollers, and now let's talk about the brushes, their diversity and how to apply them for various works.

The most common and popular option is flint painting brushes (CF). They are familiar to everyone who somehow came across the painting walls, slopes, windows and other surfaces.

Flushes flat, spatula, bristles are reliably fixed with metal tightness. Usually the length of the bristles is 60 millimeters. Flat tassels are more convenient in operation, there may be different sizes, so you can buy several at once so that a wide brush is to paint the free space, and more subtle - window crossbars or ceiling plinths, for example.

The handles in flush brushes can be plastic or wooden, they are also flat, ergonomic and are well lying in the hand. Specialists in painting work noted that a flat brush-flutz can absorb a sufficiently large amount of paint, this allows not to do strokes too often, eliminates the appearance of herds. Flots makes it possible to apply paint in any directions, with proper technique, the spray will not. Such brushes are used with all kinds of paint, varnish, olphoua, enamels.

The opposite of the Flens looks like fililent brushes (KFK). They are round and small diameter. For the color of the walls and other large surfaces, they are not suitable, usually fililene brushes are used where delicate work is needed, for example, to apply screen drawings on the already painted surfaces. In addition, the fililent brushes can be used to pull the fillets and applying paint into hard-to-reach places, much more thick brush just does not reach.

Handes (cr). Round brushes that can have a different diameter, usually from 30 to 50 millimeters. Smoothly staining the surfaces, can be used for priming, color of bottlenecks and in small areas.

Urinary brush. Traditionally, used for blissing, washing walls, blur blell. Now such brushes are usually made from the bark of a linden, purified from bitch and exposed in the tank where air did not sit down. Fibers are separated on thin strips and are wounded in a brush. Water or a solution of urinary brushes hold well, but when working with them it will be very difficult to avoid splashing.

Oval brush. It is considered vocational and beginner painters used infrequently. Oval form allows you to apply strokes and by narrow surfaces, and wide. Typically, the tissue ratio is 1: 2, that is, simply by turning it in the side, you can get twice wider or narrow bristles.

As for the bristle itself of painting brushes, it can be natural and artificial. For example, soft bristles are usually used for thin viper brushes, which is made of a hair column or protein. The best hard brushes are considered to be created from the semi-republic or ridge bristle. They are less spraying the beauty and gain more painted composition. But there are such brushes from the natural range of bristles are usually more expensive.

Cheaper brushes created from horse's hair, but their pile quickly loses flexibility and falls off, they will not serve. Synthetic fiber is a good option, with proper use of such a brush it will last long. But artificial brushes hold less paint, it can drip on the floor, the flow rate is slightly higher.

To check the quality of the bristles, it should be bent it - it must quickly restore its original shape. The hairs should not be strained, they are evenly and smooth. The split ends of the bristles and the loss of hairs immediately after the first flexion are unacceptable.

Paint brush - an indispensable tool when painting not only in domestic conditions. The use of brushes is advisable and when painting industrial facilities. For example, strip staining of hard-to-reach places, painting complex profile metal structures and so on.

Brushes-handbones

Brushes The handbrakes are designed for priming and staining of window spans, plinths, platbands, doors and other small surfaces. Brushes, mainly round or oval.

Domestic manufacturers produced three types:

1. Cr - hand hand;
2. Cattle - hand hand with a rounded bristle surface;
3. Cro - hand-made oval brush with a flat surface;

All brushes differ in the diameter of the beam (from 20 to 60 mm in 5 mm increments), while its length varies from 37 to 89 mm. The total length of the brush with the handle is from 20 to 28 cm.

For the manufacture of a bundle brushes, apply pulling bristles. The bristle is soaked, stretch and dried, after which it is no longer deformed by moisture. The beam itself can be fixed with glue directly in the handle or in a metal cable.

The best brushes are obtained from pork ridge bristles, originally having a cone-shaped and split tip of the hair. They absorb a large amount of paint and hold inside so that the paint does not flow. Lower quality brushes are made from a mixture of bristles and horse-hair, well, the most ordinary - from one horse's hair. They are much cheaper, but less practical and durable.
