Waterborne Varnish with UVLS

Fugitive pigments fade under gallery lighting and window exposure, that's inevitable chemistry. Golden's Waterborne Varnish with UVLS delays that degradation significantly through concentrated ultraviolet light stabilizers that filter damaging wavelengths before they reach your paint layer. This protection matters most for works containing organic pigments or mixed media elements vulnerable to photodegradation.

The acrylic polymer formula applies smoothly over dried acrylic paintings, forming a hard protective film that shields against dust accumulation, minor scratches, and atmospheric moisture. Water-based application means straightforward cleanup and minimal solvent exposure during varnishing sessions. The removable formulation allows future conservation work when needed, varnish can be safely lifted without disturbing underlying paint layers.

Apply this varnish as your final topcoat after acrylic paints have fully cured. The clear film dries to a protective surface that guards your work while maintaining color clarity beneath. Designed for interior display; outdoor exposure exceeds the protection threshold these stabilizers provide.
