PBT is also known as Taklon. It is developed to mimic the characteristics of natural sable. PBT brushes is softer than nylon brushes and a touch better at picking up powder than nylon.. In today’s makeup brush market, nylon has been replaced by PBT . PBT fiber has a tapered point,so sometimes it is generically referred to as “tipped polyester”.
PBT fibers can be made in a range of sizes, and the diameter affects the softness and price of the makeup brush fibers, the narrowest diameter fibers is the softest. So during custom makeup brush OEM with the makeup brush manufacturer, please specify the diameter requirements at the very beginning.
2. BASF fibers

BASF fiber is softer, better powder pick up, more natural makeup, flexible and elastic,skin-friendly, and quick dry. Of course, more expensive than normal PBT. It is usually used on high quality makeup brushes.
3 .MCF fiber
Micro Crystal Fibre (MCF) is developed to create a premium bristle that can replace animal hair on performance and keep & improve the advantages of synthetic fibers. It solves the problems of hair fall off of animal hair due to scale structure , and avoid poor toughness and tingling of normal synthetic hair due to irregular corrosion structures
.
- The Peak Section: The peak curve gradually changes from head to tip to offer superior softness.
- The Neck Section: Created by Nano technology. Softness and flexibility are improved due to the neck shape.
- The Main Section: The micron crystallized structure is uniformly distorted to achieve a premium pick up and release performance. Consistent calliper variance control to assure no breakage or fall off.
According to different application, MCF can come MCF-P for powder uses, or MCF-L for liquid uses.
