Princeton Catalyst Brushes for Moving Paint with Power and Precision
The Princeton Catalyst 6400 Polytip Bristle Series is a game-changer for artists working with thick paints and demanding techniques. These long handle synthetic brushes are designed to mimic the strength and feel of natural bristle—but with advanced features that go even further. Thanks to Princeton’s innovative Polytip technology, each individual synthetic hair is split into two or three tips, replicating the natural flags of high-end Chungking bristle. This allows for exceptional paint-holding capacity, smooth application, and remarkable control—even with heavy gels or thick-bodied acrylics and oils.
Unlike natural bristle, Catalyst brushes maintain their shape and stiffness when wet, making them especially reliable in water-based media. They’re firm yet responsive, offering the perfect balance for artists who need brushes that can handle serious paint while still allowing for subtlety and finesse. Whether you're pushing thick color across canvas or working with textured mediums, these brushes are built to perform.
