Liquitex Professional Acrylic Mediums Satin Varnish, 237 ml

Liquitex Professional Satin Varnish is a permanent, water-based acrylic varnish designed specifically for protecting finished acrylic paintings. It forms a clear, protective layer that intensifies colour saturation and provides a uniform satin sheen to the artwork's surface. This varnish is formulated to be flexible, non-tacky, and durable once dry, making it suitable for both framed pieces and works on canvas. The varnish is composed of 100% acrylic polymer, which dries to a hard yet flexible film that resists dirt retention and yellowing over time. It offers substantial protection against ultraviolet light damage, helping to prevent colour fading, and is resistant to discolouration caused by humidity and heat. The formulation has excellent levelling properties, meaning it won't hold brush marks during application, and it allows the substrate to breathe, permitting moisture vapour transmission. It can be used on both flexible supports like canvas and rigid surfaces such as wood panels, and is designed for both interior and exterior applications. This product is ideal for professional artists, serious hobbyists, and students looking to preserve and finish their acrylic paintings. It is particularly useful for works that will be shipped, exhibited, or displayed in environments with variable light and humidity. The varnish enables easier cleaning of the finished artwork without damaging the underlying paint film. Application requires careful preparation, including ensuring the paint is completely dry, working in a clean, well-ventilated space, and applying multiple thin coats with a brush for optimal results.
