Ideal for oil or acrylic works, Soluvar varnishes are solvent based, durable, and non-yellowing. They reduce surface "tack," static electrical buildup and pressure sensitivity. They dry to a clear, water-resistant surface that protects the painting from dust and dirt. Soluvar varnishes also provide a measure of UV protection, by diffusing ultraviolet radiation before it contacts the painting. A thicker varnish film provides greater protection. Soluvar varnishes are flexible, and will not craze or crack with changes in humidity and temperature. Mix matte and gloss varnishes together to achieve a range of matte or gloss effects.
