How To Choose The Right Paintbrush

Type of Coating: Water-Based

Among the various types of paint available, latex paints hold the majority share in the market. For working with latex and acrylic paints, as well as water-based wood finishes, synthetic brushes are the favored choice. These brushes come in a range of filaments, which include Chinex®, nylon, nylon/polyester blends, and polyester. Chinex® and nylon brushes are tailored for modern paints, providing excellent paint pick-up, efficient production, and a smooth, professional finish, while also ensuring an easy cleanup.

The durability of Chinex® brushes is noted for maintaining their stiffness even under conditions of heat and humidity, which aids in control. Although nylon brushes are quite resilient, they may soften in high temperatures or with prolonged exposure to latex paint. Polyester brushes, conversely, tend to preserve their shape when faced with heat, although they exhibit lower paint pick-up and production. Consequently, users may find themselves spending more time loading the brush.

Moreover, contemporary paints often include higher levels of acrylic resins and fast-drying solids that adhere to polyester, complicating the cleaning process and shortening the brush's lifespan. A nylon/polyester blend brush effectively combines the favorable traits of nylon—such as precise tipping, excellent paint pick-up, and smooth finish—with the added stiffness and control of polyester, making it a popular selection among professionals for its versatility.

For those tackling smooth surfaces, soft and versatile brushes, like the ones found in the XL® lineup, are recommended. These brushes are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, possessing medium-stiff filaments that work well with latex and oil-based paints, primers, and stains. They are not only easy to clean but also designed to endure years of use.

For exceptional paint release and remarkable cleanability, consider using one of the Purdy Clearcut® Elite' brushes. These brushes excel with heavier-bodied and Low VOC paints while remaining compatible with various surface types and textures.

When it comes to rough and textured surfaces, such as stucco or brickwork, a stiffer and more robust brush, like the Purdy Pro-Extra® or Chinex® Elite', is essential.
