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.
