is a tool used for applying paint or sometimes other substances such as ink or glue onto surfaces. Paintbrushes typically consist of bristles or fibers attached to a handle.
Here are some key components and types of paintbrushes:
- Bristles: Bristles are the fibers or hairs of the brush that hold and transfer the paint. They can be natural, such as hog hair or sable, or synthetic, such as nylon or polyester. The choice of bristle material depends on the type of paint being used and the desired application.
- Handle: The handle is the part of the brush that the user holds. It can be made of wood, plastic, or other materials. Handles vary in length and shape, with some designed for specific grip preferences or painting techniques.
- Ferrule: The ferrule is the metal or plastic band that connects the bristles to the handle. It provides stability and strength to the brush. Ferrules can be crimped or seamless, with seamless ferrules typically considered higher quality as they prevent paint from seeping into the brush and damaging the handle.
