Flat paint brush Polax 100 mm, mixed bristles

Polax flat paint brush with a 100 mm working width and mixed bristles is designed for application of paints, varnishes and primers on flat and slightly textured surfaces. The brush combines synthetic and natural fibres to provide balanced paint pickup and even release, making it suitable for both interior and exterior jobs. Its flat shape and medium-stiff filaments allow precise edging and broad coverage when painting walls, doors, fences and trim.

Advantages

The mixed bristle construction delivers consistent paint flow and reduces streaking on both water-based and solvent-based coatings. A 100 mm wide head covers a broad area while still allowing control for cutting in and detail work. The flat profile and tapered bristles help achieve smooth finishes on flat surfaces and provide good contact on slightly textured materials. The handle is shaped for manual painting comfort and extended use without excessive hand fatigue.

Suitable for

• Applying interior wall paints and primers
• Varnishing and staining doors, trim and window frames
• Painting fences and exterior siding
• Touch-up and finish work on flat or slightly textured surfaces

Key specifications

• Working width: 100 mm
• Bristle type: mixed (synthetic and natural fibres)
• Brush shape: flat
• Recommended coatings: paints, varnishes, primers (water- and solvent-based)
• Use environment: interior and exterior

How to use

Dip the brush into the paint to a depth of approximately one third of the bristle length, then tap gently to remove excess. For large areas use long, even strokes and maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks. When cutting in along edges or around mouldings, use the flat edge of the brush and controlled short strokes for accuracy. Clean the brush immediately after use with water for water-based coatings or an appropriate solvent for oil-based products, then reshape the bristles and allow to dry fully before storage.

Usage recommendations

Store the brush horizontally or hanging to preserve bristle shape. Before first use, condition the bristles by rinsing and removing any loose fibres; for the best finish on very smooth surfaces, use light sanding between coats and specified brush techniques for the chosen coating type.
