Stainless steel brushes, silver in color, have abrasive bristles which resist heat, rust, and corrosion and are best for cleaning metals such as electrical contacts but can be too abrasive for delicate surfaces.
Brass brushes, copper in color, have abrasive but more flexible bristles than stainless steel since brass is a softer metal. This allows them to clean metals without causing excessive damage.
Hog hair brushes, tan in color, have soft but fairly stiff bristles commonly used for cleaning circuit boards. These have great durability and water resistance but are not resistant to acids or alkalis and are common to have a heat resistance up to 188°C (370°F).
Horse hair brushes, tan, white, brown, or black in color, have slightly softer bristles than hog hair brushes which makes them useful in scratch-free applications such as dry brushing, polishing, or detailing. Similar to hog hair brushes, are not resistant to acids or alkalis and are typically heat tolerant up to 188°C (370°F).
