Satin Acrylic Varnish for Protection and Long-Term Preservation

Liquitex Professional Satin Varnish is a 100% acrylic polymer varnish formulated to protect acrylic artwork from UV damage, dirt, and moisture. It dries to a flexible, hard surface with a subtle satin sheen that enhances brightness and boosts color saturation without glare. The varnish is translucent when wet and becomes fully transparent when dry, ensuring the original vibrancy of your painting remains visible. It is non-tacky, water-resistant, and non-yellowing—making it an ideal choice for artists focused on long-term preservation.

This varnish is considered archival and can be brushed or sprayed on for a smooth finish—rolling or sponging is not recommended. It’s fully compatible with the full range of Liquitex acrylic products, including Heavy Body, Soft Body, and Spray Paints. Artists can also intermix it with other Liquitex varnishes to customize the final surface sheen. Whether you're sealing a gallery piece or adding a protective layer to everyday work, this satin varnish offers reliable clarity, stability, and surface enhancement.
