  • Finest brush for fingerprint work with treated-glass filaments

  • Retains large amounts of powder for extended use
  • Becomes softer with each use instead of wearing out
  • Far outlasts regular fingerprint brushes for long life

Precision Fingerprint Brush

The Safariland Zephyr Fingerprint Brush is a 16.5 cm tool designed for forensic professionals and crime-scene investigators who require reliable latent-print development. Its ultra-fine treated-glass filaments pick up and retain large amounts of powder without the coarse fibers or natural oils found in conventional brushes.

Thermals Noise Power

This brush has no electronic components, moving parts or power requirements, so it produces no heat, noise or electrical draw during normal use. Performance depends entirely on the examiner's technique and the chosen fingerprint powder rather than any thermal or acoustic characteristic.

Filament Conditioning Benefit

The bundled filaments are engineered to become softer with each use, extending the brush's working life far beyond that of regular fingerprint brushes. This self-conditioning property reduces the need for frequent replacement and maintains consistent powder application across repeated examinations.

Questions about this item

How do I prepare the Zephyr brush before dusting a surface for prints?

Lightly tap the 16.5 cm brush against the powder container to load the treated-glass filaments, then apply with a gentle twisting motion so the fine tips deposit powder without damaging ridge detail.

What upkeep does the Zephyr brush need after repeated fingerprint work?

The glass filaments become softer with each use and require no conditioning; simply shake out excess powder and store the brush upright to keep the 200 bundles aligned for the next session.

At what point does the Zephyr brush lose effectiveness during a long processing session?

The brush holds large amounts of powder without shedding coarse fibers, so the practical limit is powder saturation on the surface rather than filament wear.
