Krylon - Archival UV Varnishes
Archival UV Varnishes
Shield artwork from UV damage with removable archival varnish
Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers and UV Absorbers work together in this formulation to intercept damaging light before it reaches your artwork. HALS neutralize free radicals that degrade pigments over time, while UVA compounds absorb ultraviolet radiation directly, dual mechanisms that provide substantially more protection than single-component varnishes. The non-yellowing acrylic resin maintains optical clarity for decades, critical for preserving color relationships in finished paintings and prints.
This protection extends beyond light damage. The continuous film shields surfaces from atmospheric moisture, airborne particulates, and handling oils while remaining fully removable with appropriate solvents, essential for conservation-standard archival practice. Apply in thin, even coats over thoroughly dry acrylic, oil, or mixed media work, building coverage gradually rather than flooding the surface. The spray delivery allows controlled application without brush contact that could disturb delicate passages.
Professional artists working toward gallery representation or museum placement rely on archival-grade varnishes to meet conservation requirements. This formulation delivers that protection while maintaining the accessibility of aerosol application, bridging the gap between studio convenience and long-term preservation standards.
