Taklon is the common name for a synthetic fiber used in artist-quality paint, makeup and pin stripe brushes. It is a smooth, soft, and somewhat fragile polyester derivative devoid of any protein component or allergen elements and is therefore used in the cosmetic industries as a 'green,' 'vegan,' 'allergy free' or synthetic alternative to animal hair brushes.[1]

History[edit]
Royal Taklon Paint Brushes
DuPont invented the process for making Taklon, in which polyester fiber is extruded and tapered to a fine point. Toray Chemical Co. of Osaka, Japan, acquired the process and the rights to make Taklon, which was originally designed to mimic the handling characteristics of natural sable.[citation needed] Affinity designer trial reset.
Use in makeup brushes[edit]
Taklon brushes are more hygienic than real hair brushes. Natural hair has an irregular surface which traps powders, dead skin cells, bacteria and chemicals. Cleaning may not necessarily remove these particles. Because of this, regular cleaning with disinfectants is required to prevent skin irritation. Taklon lacks these surface irregularities, making it easier to clean properly. This decreases irritation. Because Taklon is synthetic, animal cruelty is not an issue.[2]
Use in artist-quality brushes[edit]
Taklon is made in several sizes, ranging from 0.08 mm to .15 mm, which mimic hair, to .20 mm, which mimics boar bristle. Aeon cobra 320 service manual.
