Specifications

Clear protective mat varnish for optimising colour stability and resistance to weathering in acrylic colours with limited light fastness. Built-in UV protection stabilizes the system in the short-wave UV range.

Applications

Applying a final protective coat of Lascaux Acrylic Transparent Varnish-UV for outside work can stabilize the light fastness of the less-resistant yellow, red and yellow-green Lascaux Acrylic Studio Colours. Lascaux Acrylic Transparent Varnish-UV is suitable for use on Lascaux Studio Metallic acrylic colours 990, 991, 992, 993 and 994 in interiors, and retards oxidation of these colours in outdoor environments.

Directions

Preparation and use of Lascaux Acrylic Transparent Varnish-UV is the same as for the standard version, with the following reservations: At least two coats are always required, each in a mixture of 4 parts varnish and 1 part water, to guarantee the necessary UV absorption effect. Allow about 6 hours drying time between coats. Applying Lascaux Acrylic Transparent Varnish-UV as the final stage only achieves protection against UV rays. Mixing the product with the paints has no effect. Naturally, Lascaux Acrylic Transparent Varnish-UV can also be used for interior work but this is not strictly necessary.
