UVS Finishing Varnish is
a UV stable, colorless, reversible varnish made from hydrogenated hydrocarbon (Regalrez)
resins dissolved in pure, low-aromatic solvents and a UV absorber and
stabilizer. These varnishes will
not cross-link nor yellow over 100 years as shown by the tests of de la Rie and
McGlinchey (4). These varnishes
qualify to be called “Class A” materials as defined by Feller (5).
UVS Finishing Varnish is designed for use in
the conservation of Old Master Paintings. It
is formulated to achieve optimum wetting and penetration, in order to enhance
and bring out the colors, lowest possible solvent action on old paint and
particularly on materials used in inpainting, and maximum resin content for best
coverage. It dries into a film
which has excellent leveling of a surface is required; UVS Finishing Varnish can
be “rubbed” when dry just like mastic or damar.
UVS Finishing Varnish is
available in one-quart containers.
