Anybody tried Universal boartex brushes?

Anybody tried these? Caught my eye on KR - synthetic bristles that are supposed to mimic hog hair brushes.

I've used this one for 5 years, same hair. works great & lasts longer. no scratches no complaints.

Have not tried them, but looked into them for prep brushes in my tunnel. They are not as soft, require soaking to soften them up and do not have the resistance to grease that the natural hogs hair has. If they dry out for a few hours in a self serve bay and then get used, they won’t have the soft texture. .

What application are you using them for? Listing says that is not a flow through head?

I am looking at these for a higher abuse SS site, the hogs hair are getting abused and destroyed faster than our other site that does almost double the SS volume. Looking at these vs nylon.

High abuse, I would just go with Nylon.
