Application-Specific Solutions
Different cross sections – such as trilobal, square or X-shaped – can be manufactured as mono or multiple component structures. Through the use of various fillers, active ingredients and foaming, we offer products which give consumers the option of deciding between, for instance, a high volume or an easy release mascara brush.
Advanced Component Structures
The 2-component spiral filament developed offers exceptional visual signals and design-dependent advantages of being classed as a high-volume brush. From a defined diameter, filaments can be manufactured as 2-component and 3-component in various combinations; for example, core-shell in combination with hard, soft or different color combinations.
