plastic bristles

Polymer brush strands

Plastic bristles are the synthetic fibers found on brushes, brooms, and similar cleaning or grooming tools.

Unlike natural bristles made from animal hair or plant fibers, plastic bristles are manufactured from materials like nylon or polypropylene, making them more durable, water-resistant, and easier to clean: a toothbrush with soft plastic bristles, the plastic bristles on the scrub brush.
