Princeton Catalyst Blades

It's not quite a brush. It's not quite a palette knife. Princeton Catalyst tools are crafted from flexible silicone to allow artists a new form of artistic expression. They are available in two unique styles: Princeton Catalyst Wedges are ergonomically designed to fit in your hand, reminiscent of potter's ribs, allowing a direct interaction with your work. Princeton Catalyst Blades are mounted on artist brush handles offering a blend of tradition and innovation.

Designed for use with heavy-bodied paints, Catalyst is at home with oils, acrylics, and water-miscible oils. Because they are heat-resistant, they excel with encaustics. Artists are using them with plaster, clay, and even frosting. Made of FDA-approved silicone, Catalyst Blades are great for food crafting and dishwasher safe. Just keep your cake Blades and clay Blades separate!

Clean-up is a breeze! The silicone is easy to wipe clean and is solvent-resistant. Clean up in most cases can be done with mild soap and water. Dried paint can be peeled off the silicone surface. The silicone rubber heads are removable from their wood handles for easy cleanup.

With an array of shapes and sizes from 15 mm to 50 mm, artists now have an arsenal of new tools for scraping, raking, combing, dragging and moving paints, gels, pastes, and more!

Princeton Catalyst Blades are available in a variety of styles. Each sold separately.
