Paint rollers definitely make painting jobs much easier, regardless of whether they are used on walls, ceilings, or both. However, determining the best roller is an important decision to make. At Pro Roller Company, Inc., we have a wide variety of painting products and accessories available, including various types of paint rollers that are ideal for specific applications. These include the Mohair roller and the microfiber roller. Below we take a look at both types.
Mohair Rollers
The Mohair paint roller we offer is made from excellent quality synthetic material designed for use with paints, epoxies, enamels, and urethanes. Its material is shed resistant and it comes with either a solvent resistant phenolic or plastic core.
When utilized with varying length naps, Mohair roller sleeves are excellent for use on most surfaces. They may even be used with varnish. These rollers are ideal for use with oil-based radiator paints and are often used with gloss paints.
Microfiber Rollers
Microfiber covers are made from microfiber cloth which has extremely small fibers. These fibers are attached to the microfiber roller a two part epoxy, which gives them exceptional strength. These fibers do not easily displace during paint jobs, which minimizes the problem of the dispersion of these fibers on surfaces mixed with the paint.
The size of fibers in microfiber rollers are about 20% the diameter of a human hair – that is smaller than the diameter of the silk thread. These microfibers are made from synthetic materials for a combination thereof, including Kevlar, polyamide, polyester, nylon, Trogamide, Nomex, and polypropylene.
Microfibers absorb liquids exceptionally well. The fibers as manufactured will not cause scratch damage to walls unless grit or other hard particles become attached to the fibers from previous use. The finish produced by these fibers is very smooth, providing minimal texture. You can use microfiber rollers effectively to produce the desired glossy and smooth finish on surfaces.
