How does the elastomer cap take mineral turps?
The elastomer cap has been designed to resist damage by mineral turps and citrus based paint cleaners. In the presence of mineral turps normal rubber swells to almost twice its size and becomes spongy. Then when the turps is removed and the rubber allowed to dry out, it loses its elasticity and becomes crumbly. In effect it loses its integrity. In contrast the BruKon brush container’s specially developed elastomer cap is impervious to mineral turps.
