Catalyst Polytip Bristle Brushes – Princeton

Princeton-Catalyst-Polytip-Bristle-Long-Handle-Brushes

Series 6400

Catalyst™ Polytip Bristle brushes are another Princeton breakthrough that advances the science of synthetic hair. This new series is super stiff yet still extremely responsive. Unlike natural hog bristle, Catalyst™ has real integrity in water. Natural bristle can be rendered useless when it is water-soaked. The true advance in Catalyst™ is the Polytip feature. For the first time, the tip of each hair has been split to replicate the natural flags on the finest natural bristle. By giving each hair 2 to 3 distinct tips, Catalyst™ can hold a higher volume of paint while providing a smoother application. Designed for use with medium to heavy-bodied acrylics and oil paints, Catalyst™ pushes even heavy gel media with assurance. Catalyst™ Polytip Bristle brushes truly are tools that move paint.

Product features:

  • Next-Gen Synthetic bristles.
  • Maximum stiffness.
  • Flag tips to replicate the best Chungking Bristle.
  • Best colour holding capacity and shape retention.
  • Long, wooden handle ideal for easel work.
  • Matte black ferrule that eliminates reflection when painting on site.

  • Angle Bright: 3, 6.
  • Bright: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.

Series 6500

Princeton’s Aspen™ combine performance and style. These brushes are designed with synthetic bristles that are as stiff as natural bristles.

Although well-suited for both outdoor and in-studio painting, the non-glare ferrule makes Aspen™ perfect for painting on site. A beautiful brush is only surpassed by its performance.

Product features:

  • Next-Gen Synthetic bristles.
  • Long, wooden handle ideal for easel work.
  • Retains its shape for best colour placement.
  • Suitable for all acrylic and oil paints including water-soluble oils.
