Catalyst™ 6400 Polytip Bristle brushes are another Princeton breakthrough for synthetic hair. With the Catalyst™ Polytip feature, the tip of every individual hair has been split to replicate the natural flags on the finest natural bristle. These brushes can hold a higher volume of paint while providing a smoother application. They’re designed for use with oil paints and medium to heavy-bodied acrylics.
