Chip Brushes

Chip brushes are a great economical option for jobs that require a disposable brush. These versatile tools are perfect for painting, staining, and touch-ups, as well as cleaning and sweeping away debris. Painters, homeowners, and manufacturers all use chip brushes for different tasks.

Why are they called chip brushes?

Chip brushes get their name from the task they were originally designed for: sweeping away debris (such as metal chips) from machinery. This remains one of their common uses today.

What are chip brushes good for?

Chip brushes are most often used with adhesives, glue, and strong solvents such as paint removers, as these would ruin more expensive paint brushes. Because they are economically priced, this is a great disposable brush option for paint touch-ups and other one-time use tasks. In the manufacturing industry, chip brushes are often used to clean machinery, electronics, tools, and even heavy industrial equipment.

What are chip brushes made of?

Our chip brushes feature all-natural white China bristles with wood handles. Our most popular sizes are the 1" and 2" brushes. For those who prefer dark bristles, we also offer brushes with black China bristles.

What kinds of chip brushes do you stock?

We carry good, better, and best quality brushes:

  • The 60W chip brush with pure white China bristles
  • The 60 P chip brush with black China bristles
  • The 65 chip brush with premium-grade white China bristles; this brush’s longer bristle length can hold more paint or glue than the 60W or 60 P
  • The 67 chip brush is our best-grade China bristle brush, made in the USA and tolerant of more exotic solvents

These brushes are available individually or in bulk, and we offer quantity discounts for orders of 36 brushes or more.
