Matte Varnish for Non-Reflective Finish and Long-Term Acrylic Protection

Liquitex Professional Matte Varnish is a 100% acrylic polymer varnish that provides a soft, glare-free finish while protecting acrylic paintings from environmental damage. Designed to create a non-reflective surface, this matte varnish reduces shine, softens colors, and enhances overall presentation—especially under bright lighting or for photographic purposes. It forms a flexible, non-tacky, water-resistant layer that guards against dirt, UV light, humidity, and surface abrasion, all while increasing color saturation and preserving clarity without yellowing over time.

This permanent, non-removable varnish is intended exclusively for acrylic surfaces and should be applied only when the painting is fully dry. It can be brushed or sprayed on in multiple thin, even layers to build durable coverage and a consistent matte appearance. Once cured, it delivers archival protection and improved surface strength—ideal for artists preparing work for display, sale, or long-term storage. Liquitex Matte Varnish combines professional-level preservation with a subdued, elegant surface finish that supports both color vibrancy and subtlety.
