Selecting the appropriate filament material for hair combing brushes is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and durability. This guide provides a concise comparison of the core materials based on their temperature resistance, characteristics, and suitable applications.

Three Steps to Accurate Material Selection

•  Select by Temperature

For Room Temperature Use: Choose PA6 fiber.

For Hairdryers (≤150℃): Opt for PA66 fiber.

For High-Temperature Styling (>160℃): Select PA46 fiber.

• Select by Hair Type

For Fine, Soft Hair: Use the soft PA6 fiber.

For Thick, Coarse Hair: Choose the rigid PA46 fiber.

•  Avoid Common Pitfalls

Do not choose PA6 fiber for low-temperature environments. Compared to nylon66 and nylon46 fibers, nylon6 fiber is prone to brittleness and breakage.

Be cautious of high-temperature resistant label without material specification, maybe this may indicate low-quality PBT filament.

Key Data Points

Wear Resistance: PA66 filament is 40% more wear-resistant than PA6, while PA46 maintains 90% rigidity at 160℃.

Consequences of Incorrect Selection: An incorrect choice can lead to a 50% increase in deformation rate and a 35% rise in hair friction.
