Princeton Catalyst

Catalyst brushes are a new breakthrough from Princeton that enhances the technology of synthetic hair. This series is vegan and both stiff and responsive, making them easy to use.

Unlike natural hog bristle, which can lose its functionality when wet, Catalyst brushes maintain their quality in water. One of the most impressive features of Catalyst brushes is their Polytip function, where the tip of each individual hair is split into 2 to 3 fine tips. This mimics the natural flags on the finest natural bristles and allows the brushes to hold a larger amount of paint, resulting in a smoother application.

The brushes are designed for use with medium to heavy-bodied acrylics and oil paints, and they can easily handle even heavy gel media. Catalyst Polytip brushes are truly tools that make painting easier and help achieve fine results.


Catalyst also offers another series of painting tools, the perfect choice for artists looking to elevate their creativity to the next level. The flexible silicone tools are designed to easily spread and sculpt thick media such as acrylic, oil, plaster, clay, and glaze, providing endless possibilities to create unique textures and effects.

These tools are ergonomically designed, easy to clean, extremely durable, and heat-resistant up to 230 °C – ideal for everything from painting to mixed media and sculpture.

Experience creative freedom with tools designed to inspire and deliver high quality every time.
