The UV protectors scavenge and trap the radicals and convert them into harmless ketones and alcohols. The second purpose it to absorb UV light and convert it into heat. Both these combined protect against color change of the substrate and gloss reduction of the varnish itself when exposed to UV. The UV protectors are re-generating, and depending on the exposure of the coating, will continue to protect it for many years. This product uses a combination of two technologies to provide maximum protection, HALS and UV-A. HALS (hindered amine light stabilizers) is what we call a 'radical scavenger'.  It reacts with radicals initiated by thermo or photo-oxidative degradation caused by UV light.  The HALS scavenges and traps the radicals and converts them into harmless ketones and alcohols.  The main purpose of the HALS is to protect against gloss reduction, cracking, yellowing and chalking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV-A (Ultra Violet Absorber) absorbs the UV light and converts it into harmless heat.  This mainly protects against colour change (fading), but also protects against delamination, blistering and gloss reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the HALS and UV-A are re-generating - they continue to scavenge and absorb once the coating has formed.  By using both HALS\/UV-A synergistically together, you obtain maximum protection from UV degridation.  Depending on the exposure of the coating, the HALS\/UV-A will protect the coating for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISCLAIMER: \u003c\/strong\u003eAlthough Matisse Derivan products are formulated to the highest standards and extensively tested, we strongly recommend a small test be undertaken before any varnish is being applied to the final surface.

Two coats of UV Varnish are recommended, ensuring that the first coat is thoroughly dry before a second application. Under regular conditions (20C), this varnish should be dry within 4-6 hours.

It is not a final varnish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTech Summary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV protectors serve two important purposes. Firstly it acts as a “radical scavenger”. The UV protectors scavenge and trap the radicals and convert them into harmless ketones and alcohols. The second purpose it to absorb UV light and convert it into heat. Both these combined protect against color change of the substrate and gloss reduction of the varnish itself when exposed to UV. The UV protectors are re-generating, and depending on the exposure of the coating, will continue to protect it for many years. This product uses a combination of two technologies to provide maximum protection, HALS and UV-A. HALS (hindered amine light stabilizers) is what we call a 'radical scavenger'.  It reacts with radicals initiated by thermo or photo-oxidative degradation caused by UV light.  The HALS scavenges and traps the radicals and converts them into harmless ketones and alcohols.  The main purpose of the HALS is to protect against gloss reduction, cracking, yellowing and chalking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV-A (Ultra Violet Absorber) absorbs the UV light and converts it into harmless heat.  This mainly protects against colour change (fading), but also protects against delamination, blistering and gloss reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the HALS and UV-A are re-generating - they continue to scavenge and absorb once the coating has formed.  By using both HALS\/UV-A synergistically together, you obtain maximum protection from UV degridation.  Depending on the exposure of the coating, the HALS\/UV-A will protect the coating for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISCLAIMER: \u003c\/strong\u003eAlthough Matisse Derivan products are formulated to the highest standards and extensively tested, we strongly recommend a small test be undertaken before any varnish is being applied to the final surface.
