Description
The Akoya brush is a synthetic brush that is designed to replicate the qualities of a natural hog brush. The brush has craters in the hair that gather pigment and replicate natural hairs, and the brush maintains the excellent spring and shape that one would expect of a synthetic brush. The brush is also designed to last due to a heating process that causes the hairs to retain their shape.
Akoya brushes, so named because their pure white silky hairs resemble the Akoya pearl, have been developed to match and build upon qualities offered by the leading natural hog brushes. Colour and liquid absorbency is maximised by craters in each hair that gather pigment and replicate natural hairs in a way that other synthetic brushes are not capable of.
In addition to this, the Akoya brushes maintain the excellent spring and shape that one would expect of a synthetic brush, reinforced by the two thicknesses of hair used. These brushes are designed to last, thanks to a heating process that causes the hairs to retain their shape after use, and the strength of the filaments themselves. This durability means that you won't have bristles breaking off in your paint. With slightly stiffer hair than our Procryl brushes, the Akoya exhibits the best characteristics of both the highest grade natural and the finest synthetic brushes.
Please note that this synthetic brush does not contain any animal products, either in the varnish, bristles, paint or glue.
