IXTLERA prides itself in offering the highest quality in Tapered Nylon Processing including tipping, flagging, dyeing, and mixing

Natural bristle, like hair, grows to a point. In order to get this effect with a tapered synthetic filament, the filament must be "tipped" or ground to a fine point. IXTLERA prides itself in having the ability to do a very high tipped percentage per bundle as well as having the ability to do a very deep tip on the tapered synthetic filament.

Natural bristle and other natural hairs split as they age. This splitting or "flagging" in a paintbrush filament allows the brush to pick up more paint, cover more space and lay the paint down more smoothly. IXTLERA prides itself in having the experience and ability to flag tapered synthetic filament to the paint brush manufacturers' specifications.

Dyeing of Natural Tapered Nylon usually helps the painter identify the paint brush made of synthetic tapered filament as a professional brush. This is true because the dyeing process not only adds cost to the processing and makes a more expensive paint brush, but because the dyeing process has an effect on the synthetic filament which makes it better for use in a paint brush.
