Liquitex Acrylic Varnishes, made from 100% acrylic polymer emulsions, form durable, permanent films when dry. They have excellent flexibility and resistance to chemicals, water, abrasion and ultraviolet radiation and can be used to provide lasting protection for artwork. 

Liquitex Acrylic Varnishes are available in a variety of finishes, including Gloss, Matte, High Gloss, and Satin. 

__Gloss__ delivers permanent, highly-durable protection that is non-yellowing and flexible when dry. It is water-soluble when wet and can be thinned. 

__Matte__ is a medium viscosity varnish that provides a satiny, non-glare, low-sheen final coat and intensifies dull colors without drastically reducing color depth. It is water-soluble when wet and can be thinned. 

__High Gloss__ is a low viscosity, permanent, water-based varnish that produces a clear, high-gloss finish. Translucent when wet and clear when dry, it increases the gloss, depth, and intensity of colors. It provides a longer working time to eliminate drag, bubbles, and cloudiness.

__Satin__ is a clear, non-yellowing varnish with a satin finish. It is AP non-toxic.

__Note__  — Acrylic polymer varnishes permanently adhere to the surface, and are not removable. If you must be able to remove the varnish at a later date, use a non-polymer varnish such as Liquitex Soluvar Varnish. Polymer varnishes are not for use with oil paintings.

Ideal for acrylic or oil works, Soluvar varnishes are solvent based, durable, and non-yellowing. They reduce surface &quot;tack,&quot; pressure sensitivity, and static electrical buildup. 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. 


Liquitex Gloss Medium and Varnish is recommended to be used as an isolation barrier, which acts as permanent protection for the painting prior to the application of Soluvar varnish.
