1. Introduction
The word "varnish" comes from Latin vernix, meaning odorous resin, the etymology of
which comes from the Greek Berenice, the ancient name of modern Benghazi in Libya,
where the first varnishes were used and where resins from the trees of now-vanished forests
were sold. Berenice comes from the Greek word sphero (to bring) + nike (victory).
Varnish is a transparent, hard, protective finish or film primarily used in wood finishing but also for
other materials. Varnish is traditionally a combination of a drying oil, a resin, and a thinner or solvent.
Varnish finishes are usually glossy but may be designed to produce satin or semi-gloss sheens by the
addition of "flatting" agents. Varnish has little or no color, is transparent, and has no added pigment,
as opposed to paints or wood stains, which contain pigment and generally range
from opaque to translucent. Varnishes are also applied over wood stains as a final step to achieve a
film for gloss and protection. Some products are marketed as a combined stain and varnish.
After being applied, the film-forming substances in varnishes either harden directly, as soon
as the solvent has fully evaporated, or harden after evaporation of the solvent through
certain curing processes, primarily chemical reaction between oils and oxygen from the air
(autoxidation) and chemical reactions between components of the varnish. Resin varnishes
"dry" by evaporation of the solvent and harden almost immediately upon drying. Acrylic and
waterborne varnishes "dry" upon evaporation of the water but experience an extended curing
period. Oil, polyurethane, and epoxy varnishes remain liquid even after evaporation of the
solvent but quickly begin to cure, undergoing successive stages from liquid or syrupy, to
tacky or sticky, to dry gummy, to "dry to the touch", too hard. Environmental factors such as
heat and humidity play a very large role in the drying and curing times of varnishes. In classic
varnish the cure rate depends on the type of oil used and, to some extent, on the ratio of oil to
resin. The drying and curing time of all varnishes may be sped up by exposure to an energy
source such as sunlight, ultraviolet light, or heat.
2. History
Early varnishes were developed by mixing resin—pine sap, for example—with a solvent and applying
them with a brush to get the golden and hardened effect one sees in today's varnishes. The ancient
Egyptians were well acquainted with the art of varnishing. Varnishing, however later in history, was
also practiced in the Far East. In India, China and Japan, where the practice of lacquer work, a species
of varnish application was known at a very early date. It has been claimed that Japan was acquainted
with the art of lacquering by 500 or 600 BC, but the majority of authorities place its first usage there
to the 3rd century AD, as an art acquired from their neighbors, the Koreans. The Chinese and Indian
4 | P a g e
peoples probably knew the art much earlier than the Japanese. Varnish and lacquer work are,
however, generally treated in the arts as separate and distinct.
3. Components of classic varnish
3.1 Drying oil
There are many different types of drying oils, including linseed oil, tung oil, and walnut oil. These
contain high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
3.2 Resin
Resins that are used in varnishes include amber, kauri gum, dammar, copal, rosin (pine
resin), sandarac, balsam, elemi, mastic, and others. Shellac is also a resin. In the 1900s in Canada,
resins from local trees were used to finish pianos. As a result these now antique pianos are considered
difficult to refinish. However, shellac can be used over the existing resins provided sufficient time is
allowed for thin coats to cure. Thus the original finish can be returned to its original lustre while
preserving the color and age-related crackle.
3.3 Solvent (traditionally turpentine)
Traditionally, natural (organic) turpentine was used as the thinner or solvent, but has been replaced by
several mineral-based turpentine substitutes such as white spirit or "paint thinner", also known as
"mineral spirit".
4. Types of varnish
4.1 Violin
Violin varnishing is a multi-step process involving some or all of the following: primer, sealer,
ground, color coats, and clear topcoat. Some systems use a drying oil varnish as described below,
while others use spirit (or solvent) varnish. Touchup in repair or restoration is only done with spirit
varnish.
Drying oil such as walnut oil or linseed oil may be used in combination with amber, copal, rosin or
other resins. Traditionally the oil is prepared by cooking or exposure to air and sunlight, but modern
"stand oil" is prepared by heating oil at high temperature without oxygen. The refined resin is
sometimes available as a translucent solid and is then "run" by cooking or literally melting it in a pot
over heat without solvents. The thickened oil and prepared resin are then cooked together and thinned
with turpentine (away from open flame) into a brushable solution. The ingredients and processes of
5 | P a g e
violin varnish are very diverse, with some highly regarded old examples showing defects (e.g.
cracking, crazing) associated with incompatible varnish components.
Some violin finishing systems use vernice bianca (egg white and gum arabic) as a sealer or ground.
There is also evidence that finely powdered minerals, possibly volcanic ash, were used in some
grounds. Some violins made in the late 18th century used oxen's blood to create a very deep-red
coloration. Today this varnish would have faded and currently be a very warm, dark orange.
4.2 Resin
Most resin or "gum" varnishes consist of a natural, plant- or insect-derived substance dissolved in a
solvent, called spirit varnish or solvent varnish. The solvent may be alcohol, turpentine, or petroleum-
based. Some resins are soluble in both alcohol and turpentine. Generally, petroleum solvents,
i.e. mineral spirits or paint thinner, can substitute for turpentine. The resins
include amber, dammar, copal, rosin, sandarac, elemi, benzoin, mastic, balsam, shellac, and a
multitude oflacquers.
Synthetic resins such as phenolic resin may be employed as a secondary component in certain
varnishes and paints.
Over centuries, many recipes were developed which involved the combination of resins, oils, and
other ingredients such as certain waxes. These were believed to impart special tonal qualities to
musical instruments and thus were sometimes carefully guarded secrets. The interaction of different
ingredients is difficult to predict or reproduce, so expert finishers were often prized professionals.
4.3 Shellac
Shellac is a very widely used single-component resin varnish that is alcohol-soluble. It is not used for
outdoor surfaces or where it will come into repeated contact with water, such as around a sink or
bathtub. The source of shellac resin is a brittle or flaky secretion of the female lac insect, Kerria
lacca, found in the forests of Assam and Thailand and harvested from the bark of the trees where she
deposits it to provide a sticky hold on the trunk. Shellac is the basis of French polish, which for
centuries has been the preferred finish for fine furniture. Specified "dewaxed" shellac has been
processed to remove the waxy substances from original shellac and can be used as a primer and
sanding-sealer substrate for other finishes such as polyurethanes, alkyds, oils, and acrylics.
Prepared shellac is typically available in "clear" and "amber" (or "orange") varieties, generally as
"three-pound cut" or three pounds dry shellac to one US gallon of alcohol. Other natural color shades
such as ruby and yellow are available from specialty pigment or woodworker's supply outlets. Dry
shellac is available as refined flakes, "sticklac," "button lac," or "seedlac." "White pigmented" shellac
6 | P a g e
primer paint is widely available in retail outlets, billed as a fast-drying interior primer "problem
solver", in that it adheres to a variety of surfaces and seals off odors and smoke stains. Shellac clean-
up may be done either with pure alcohol or with ammonia cleansers.
4.4 Alkyd
Typically, modern commercially produced varnishes employ some form of alkyd for producing a
protective film. Alkyds are chemically modified vegetable oils which operate well in a wide range of
conditions and can be engineered to speed up the cure rate and thus harden faster. Better (and more
expensive) exterior varnishes employ alkyds made from high performance oils and contain UV-
absorbers; this improves gloss-retention and extends the lifetime of the finish. Various resins may also
be combined with alkyds as part of the formula for typical "oil" varnishes that are commercially
available.
4.5 Spar varnish
Spar varnish (also called marine varnish) was originally intended for use on ship or boat spars, to
protect the timber from the effects of sea and weather. Spars bend under the load of their sails. The
primary requirements were water resistance and also elasticity, so as to remain adhering as the spars
flexed. Elasticity was a pre-condition for weatherproofing too, as a finish that cracked would then
allow water through, even if the remaining film was impermeable. Appearance and gloss was of
relatively low value. Modified tung oil and phenolic resins are often used.
When first developed, no varnishes had good UV-resistance. Even after more modern synthetic resins
did become resistant, a true spar varnish maintained its elasticity above other virtues, even if this
required a compromise in its UV-resistance. Spar varnishes are thus not necessarily the best choice for
outdoor woodwork which does not need to bend in service.
Despite this, the widespread perception of "marine products" as "tough" led to domestic outdoor
varnishes being branded as "Spar varnish" and sold on the virtue of their weather- and UV-resistance.
These claims may be more or less realistic, depending on individual products. Only relatively recently
have spar varnishes been available that can offer both effective elasticity and UV-resistance.
4.6 Drying oils
By definition, drying oils, such as linseed and tung oil, are not true varnishes though often in modern
terms they accomplish the same thing. Drying oils cure through an exothermic reaction between the
polyunsaturated portion of the oil and oxygen from the air. Originally, the term "varnish" referred to
finishes that were made entirely of resin dissolved in suitable solvents, either ethanol (alcohol) or
turpentine. The advantage to finishes in previous centuries was that resin varnishes had a very rapid
7 | P a g e
cure rate compared to oils; in most cases they are cured practically as soon as the solvent has fully
evaporated. By contrast, untreated or "raw" oils may take weeks or months to cure, depending on
ambient temperature and other environmental factors. In modern terms, "boiled" or
partially polymerized drying oils with added siccatives or dryers (chemical catalysts) have cure times
of less than 24 hours. However, certain non-toxic by-products of the curing process are emitted from
the oil film even after it is dry to the touch and over a considerable period of time. It has long been a
tradition to combine drying oils with resins to obtain favourable features of both substances.
4.7 Polyurethane
Polyurethane varnishes are typically hard, abrasion-resistant, and durable coatings. They are popular
for hardwood floors but are considered by some wood finishers to be difficult or unsuitable for
finishing furniture or other detailed pieces. Polyurethanes are comparable in hardness to certain
alkyds but generally form a tougher film. Compared to simple oil or shellac varnishes, polyurethane
varnish forms a harder, decidedly tougher and more waterproof film. However, a thick film of
ordinary polyurethane may de-laminate if subjected to heat or shock, fracturing the film and leaving
white patches. This tendency increases with long exposure to sunlight or when it is applied over soft
woods like pine. This is also in part due to polyurethane's lesser penetration into the wood. Various
priming techniques are employed to overcome this problem, including the use of certain oil varnishes,
specified "dewaxed" shellac, clear penetrating epoxy sealer, or "oil-modified" polyurethane designed
for the purpose. Polyurethane varnish may also lack the "hand-rubbed" lustre of drying oils such as
linseed or tung oil; in contrast, however, it is capable of a much faster and higher "build" of film,
accomplishing in two coats what may require multiple applications of oil. Polyurethane may also be
applied over a straight oil finish, but because of the relatively slow curing time of oils, the emission of
certain chemical byproducts, and the need for exposure to oxygen from the air, care must be taken that
the oils are sufficiently cured to accept the polyurethane.
Unlike drying oils and alkyds which cure, after evaporation of the solvent, upon reaction with oxygen
from the air, true polyurethane coatings cure, after evaporation of the solvent, by a variety of
reactions of chemicals within the original mix, or by reaction with moisture from the air. Certain
polyurethane products are "hybrids" and combine different aspects of their parent components. "Oil-
modified" polyurethanes, whether water-borne or solvent-borne, are currently the most widely used
wood floor finishes.
Exterior use of polyurethane varnish may be problematic due to its heightened susceptibility to
deterioration through ultra-violet light exposure. All clear or translucent varnishes, and indeed
all film-polymer coatings (e.g. paint, stain, epoxy, synthetic plastic, etc.) are susceptible to this
damage in varying degrees. Pigments in paints and stains protect against UV damage. UV-absorbers
8 | P a g e
are added to polyurethane and other varnishes (e.g. spar varnish) to work against UV damage but are
decreasingly effective over the course of 2–4 years, depending on the quantity and quality of UV-
absorbers added, as well as the severity and duration of sun exposure. Water exposure, humidity,
temperature extremes, and other environmental factors affect all finishes. By contrast, wooden items
retrieved from the Egyptian pyramids have a new and fresh appearance after 4000 years of storage.
Even there, however, fungal colonies were present, and mildew and fungus are another category of
entities which attack varnish. In other words, the only coat of varnish with near perfect durability is
the one stored in a vacuum, in darkness, at a low and unvarying temperature. Otherwise, care and
upkeep are required.
4.8 Lacquer
The word lacquer refers to quick-drying, solvent-based varnishes or paints. Although their names may
be similarly derived, lacquer is not the same as shellac and is not dissolved in alcohol. Lacquer is
dissolved in lacquer thinner, which is a highly flammable solvent typically containing butyl
acetate and xylene or toluene. Lacquer is typically sprayed on, within a spray booth that evacuates
overspray and minimizes the risk of combustion.
Outside America, the rule of thumb is that a clear wood finish formulated to be sprayed is a lacquer,
but if it is formulated to be brushed on then it is a varnish. Thus, by far most pieces of wooden
furniture are lacquered.
Lacquer may be considered different from varnish because it can be re-dissolved later by a solvent
(such as the one it was dissolved in when it was applied) and does not chemically change to a solid
like other varnishes.
4.9 Acrylic
Acrylic varnishes are typically water-borne varnishes with the lowest refractive index of all
finishes and high transparency. They resist yellowing. Acrylics have the advantage of water clean-up
and lack of solvent fumes, but typically do not penetrate into wood as well as oils. They sometimes
lack the brushability and self-leveling qualities of solvent-based varnishes. Generally they have good
UV-resistance.
In the art world, varnishes offer dust-resistance and a harder surface than bare paint – they sometimes
have the benefit of ultraviolet light resistors, which help protect artwork from fading in exposure to
light. Acrylic varnish should be applied using an isolation coat (a permanent, protective barrier
between the painting and the varnish, preferably a soft, glossy gel medium) to make varnish removal
and overall conservation easier. Acrylic varnishes used for such a final removable art protection layer
are typically mineral-spirit–based acrylic, rather than water-based.
9 | P a g e
Two-part
Various epoxies have been formulated as varnishes or floor finishes whereby two components are
mixed directly before application. Often, the two parts are of equal volume and are referred to as "part
A" and "part B". True polyurethanes are two-part systems. All two-part epoxies have a "pot-life" or
"working time" during which the epoxy can be used. Usually the pot-life is a matter of a few hours but
is also highly temperature dependent. Both water-borne and solvent-based epoxies are used.
5. Conversion
Used when a fast-curing, tough, hard finish is desired, such as for kitchen cabinets and office
furniture. Comes in two parts: a resin and an acid catalyst. The first is a blend of an amino resin and
an alkyd. The acid catalyst is added right before application in a set ratio determined by the
manufacturer. Most produce minimal yellowing. There are, however, two downsides to this finish.
The first is that as the finish cures, it gives off formaldehyde, which is toxic and carcinogenic. The
second is that the finish can crack or craze if too many coats are applied.

  • 3. 3 | P a g e 1. Introduction The word "varnish" comes from Latin vernix, meaning odorous resin, the etymology of which comes from the Greek Berenice, the ancient name of modern Benghazi in Libya, where the first varnishes were used and where resins from the trees of now-vanished forests were sold. Berenice comes from the Greek word sphero (to bring) + nike (victory). Varnish is a transparent, hard, protective finish or film primarily used in wood finishing but also for other materials. Varnish is traditionally a combination of a drying oil, a resin, and a thinner or solvent. Varnish finishes are usually glossy but may be designed to produce satin or semi-gloss sheens by the addition of "flatting" agents. Varnish has little or no color, is transparent, and has no added pigment, as opposed to paints or wood stains, which contain pigment and generally range from opaque to translucent. Varnishes are also applied over wood stains as a final step to achieve a film for gloss and protection. Some products are marketed as a combined stain and varnish. After being applied, the film-forming substances in varnishes either harden directly, as soon as the solvent has fully evaporated, or harden after evaporation of the solvent through certain curing processes, primarily chemical reaction between oils and oxygen from the air (autoxidation) and chemical reactions between components of the varnish. Resin varnishes "dry" by evaporation of the solvent and harden almost immediately upon drying. Acrylic and waterborne varnishes "dry" upon evaporation of the water but experience an extended curing period. Oil, polyurethane, and epoxy varnishes remain liquid even after evaporation of the solvent but quickly begin to cure, undergoing successive stages from liquid or syrupy, to tacky or sticky, to dry gummy, to "dry to the touch", too hard. Environmental factors such as heat and humidity play a very large role in the drying and curing times of varnishes. In classic varnish the cure rate depends on the type of oil used and, to some extent, on the ratio of oil to resin. The drying and curing time of all varnishes may be sped up by exposure to an energy source such as sunlight, ultraviolet light, or heat. 2. History Early varnishes were developed by mixing resin—pine sap, for example—with a solvent and applying them with a brush to get the golden and hardened effect one sees in today's varnishes. The ancient Egyptians were well acquainted with the art of varnishing. Varnishing, however later in history, was also practiced in the Far East. In India, China and Japan, where the practice of lacquer work, a species of varnish application was known at a very early date. It has been claimed that Japan was acquainted with the art of lacquering by 500 or 600 BC, but the majority of authorities place its first usage there to the 3rd century AD, as an art acquired from their neighbors, the Koreans. The Chinese and Indian
  • 4. 4 | P a g e peoples probably knew the art much earlier than the Japanese. Varnish and lacquer work are, however, generally treated in the arts as separate and distinct. 3. Components of classic varnish 3.1 Drying oil There are many different types of drying oils, including linseed oil, tung oil, and walnut oil. These contain high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. 3.2 Resin Resins that are used in varnishes include amber, kauri gum, dammar, copal, rosin (pine resin), sandarac, balsam, elemi, mastic, and others. Shellac is also a resin. In the 1900s in Canada, resins from local trees were used to finish pianos. As a result these now antique pianos are considered difficult to refinish. However, shellac can be used over the existing resins provided sufficient time is allowed for thin coats to cure. Thus the original finish can be returned to its original lustre while preserving the color and age-related crackle. 3.3 Solvent (traditionally turpentine) Traditionally, natural (organic) turpentine was used as the thinner or solvent, but has been replaced by several mineral-based turpentine substitutes such as white spirit or "paint thinner", also known as "mineral spirit". 4. Types of varnish 4.1 Violin Violin varnishing is a multi-step process involving some or all of the following: primer, sealer, ground, color coats, and clear topcoat. Some systems use a drying oil varnish as described below, while others use spirit (or solvent) varnish. Touchup in repair or restoration is only done with spirit varnish. Drying oil such as walnut oil or linseed oil may be used in combination with amber, copal, rosin or other resins. Traditionally the oil is prepared by cooking or exposure to air and sunlight, but modern "stand oil" is prepared by heating oil at high temperature without oxygen. The refined resin is sometimes available as a translucent solid and is then "run" by cooking or literally melting it in a pot over heat without solvents. The thickened oil and prepared resin are then cooked together and thinned with turpentine (away from open flame) into a brushable solution. The ingredients and processes of
  • 5. 5 | P a g e violin varnish are very diverse, with some highly regarded old examples showing defects (e.g. cracking, crazing) associated with incompatible varnish components. Some violin finishing systems use vernice bianca (egg white and gum arabic) as a sealer or ground. There is also evidence that finely powdered minerals, possibly volcanic ash, were used in some grounds. Some violins made in the late 18th century used oxen's blood to create a very deep-red coloration. Today this varnish would have faded and currently be a very warm, dark orange. 4.2 Resin Most resin or "gum" varnishes consist of a natural, plant- or insect-derived substance dissolved in a solvent, called spirit varnish or solvent varnish. The solvent may be alcohol, turpentine, or petroleum- based. Some resins are soluble in both alcohol and turpentine. Generally, petroleum solvents, i.e. mineral spirits or paint thinner, can substitute for turpentine. The resins include amber, dammar, copal, rosin, sandarac, elemi, benzoin, mastic, balsam, shellac, and a multitude oflacquers. Synthetic resins such as phenolic resin may be employed as a secondary component in certain varnishes and paints. Over centuries, many recipes were developed which involved the combination of resins, oils, and other ingredients such as certain waxes. These were believed to impart special tonal qualities to musical instruments and thus were sometimes carefully guarded secrets. The interaction of different ingredients is difficult to predict or reproduce, so expert finishers were often prized professionals. 4.3 Shellac Shellac is a very widely used single-component resin varnish that is alcohol-soluble. It is not used for outdoor surfaces or where it will come into repeated contact with water, such as around a sink or bathtub. The source of shellac resin is a brittle or flaky secretion of the female lac insect, Kerria lacca, found in the forests of Assam and Thailand and harvested from the bark of the trees where she deposits it to provide a sticky hold on the trunk. Shellac is the basis of French polish, which for centuries has been the preferred finish for fine furniture. Specified "dewaxed" shellac has been processed to remove the waxy substances from original shellac and can be used as a primer and sanding-sealer substrate for other finishes such as polyurethanes, alkyds, oils, and acrylics. Prepared shellac is typically available in "clear" and "amber" (or "orange") varieties, generally as "three-pound cut" or three pounds dry shellac to one US gallon of alcohol. Other natural color shades such as ruby and yellow are available from specialty pigment or woodworker's supply outlets. Dry shellac is available as refined flakes, "sticklac," "button lac," or "seedlac." "White pigmented" shellac
  • 6. 6 | P a g e primer paint is widely available in retail outlets, billed as a fast-drying interior primer "problem solver", in that it adheres to a variety of surfaces and seals off odors and smoke stains. Shellac clean- up may be done either with pure alcohol or with ammonia cleansers. 4.4 Alkyd Typically, modern commercially produced varnishes employ some form of alkyd for producing a protective film. Alkyds are chemically modified vegetable oils which operate well in a wide range of conditions and can be engineered to speed up the cure rate and thus harden faster. Better (and more expensive) exterior varnishes employ alkyds made from high performance oils and contain UV- absorbers; this improves gloss-retention and extends the lifetime of the finish. Various resins may also be combined with alkyds as part of the formula for typical "oil" varnishes that are commercially available. 4.5 Spar varnish Spar varnish (also called marine varnish) was originally intended for use on ship or boat spars, to protect the timber from the effects of sea and weather. Spars bend under the load of their sails. The primary requirements were water resistance and also elasticity, so as to remain adhering as the spars flexed. Elasticity was a pre-condition for weatherproofing too, as a finish that cracked would then allow water through, even if the remaining film was impermeable. Appearance and gloss was of relatively low value. Modified tung oil and phenolic resins are often used. When first developed, no varnishes had good UV-resistance. Even after more modern synthetic resins did become resistant, a true spar varnish maintained its elasticity above other virtues, even if this required a compromise in its UV-resistance. Spar varnishes are thus not necessarily the best choice for outdoor woodwork which does not need to bend in service. Despite this, the widespread perception of "marine products" as "tough" led to domestic outdoor varnishes being branded as "Spar varnish" and sold on the virtue of their weather- and UV-resistance. These claims may be more or less realistic, depending on individual products. Only relatively recently have spar varnishes been available that can offer both effective elasticity and UV-resistance. 4.6 Drying oils By definition, drying oils, such as linseed and tung oil, are not true varnishes though often in modern terms they accomplish the same thing. Drying oils cure through an exothermic reaction between the polyunsaturated portion of the oil and oxygen from the air. Originally, the term "varnish" referred to finishes that were made entirely of resin dissolved in suitable solvents, either ethanol (alcohol) or turpentine. The advantage to finishes in previous centuries was that resin varnishes had a very rapid
  • 7. 7 | P a g e cure rate compared to oils; in most cases they are cured practically as soon as the solvent has fully evaporated. By contrast, untreated or "raw" oils may take weeks or months to cure, depending on ambient temperature and other environmental factors. In modern terms, "boiled" or partially polymerized drying oils with added siccatives or dryers (chemical catalysts) have cure times of less than 24 hours. However, certain non-toxic by-products of the curing process are emitted from the oil film even after it is dry to the touch and over a considerable period of time. It has long been a tradition to combine drying oils with resins to obtain favourable features of both substances. 4.7 Polyurethane Polyurethane varnishes are typically hard, abrasion-resistant, and durable coatings. They are popular for hardwood floors but are considered by some wood finishers to be difficult or unsuitable for finishing furniture or other detailed pieces. Polyurethanes are comparable in hardness to certain alkyds but generally form a tougher film. Compared to simple oil or shellac varnishes, polyurethane varnish forms a harder, decidedly tougher and more waterproof film. However, a thick film of ordinary polyurethane may de-laminate if subjected to heat or shock, fracturing the film and leaving white patches. This tendency increases with long exposure to sunlight or when it is applied over soft woods like pine. This is also in part due to polyurethane's lesser penetration into the wood. Various priming techniques are employed to overcome this problem, including the use of certain oil varnishes, specified "dewaxed" shellac, clear penetrating epoxy sealer, or "oil-modified" polyurethane designed for the purpose. Polyurethane varnish may also lack the "hand-rubbed" lustre of drying oils such as linseed or tung oil; in contrast, however, it is capable of a much faster and higher "build" of film, accomplishing in two coats what may require multiple applications of oil. Polyurethane may also be applied over a straight oil finish, but because of the relatively slow curing time of oils, the emission of certain chemical byproducts, and the need for exposure to oxygen from the air, care must be taken that the oils are sufficiently cured to accept the polyurethane. Unlike drying oils and alkyds which cure, after evaporation of the solvent, upon reaction with oxygen from the air, true polyurethane coatings cure, after evaporation of the solvent, by a variety of reactions of chemicals within the original mix, or by reaction with moisture from the air. Certain polyurethane products are "hybrids" and combine different aspects of their parent components. "Oil- modified" polyurethanes, whether water-borne or solvent-borne, are currently the most widely used wood floor finishes. Exterior use of polyurethane varnish may be problematic due to its heightened susceptibility to deterioration through ultra-violet light exposure. All clear or translucent varnishes, and indeed all film-polymer coatings (e.g. paint, stain, epoxy, synthetic plastic, etc.) are susceptible to this damage in varying degrees. Pigments in paints and stains protect against UV damage. UV-absorbers
  • 8. 8 | P a g e are added to polyurethane and other varnishes (e.g. spar varnish) to work against UV damage but are decreasingly effective over the course of 2–4 years, depending on the quantity and quality of UV- absorbers added, as well as the severity and duration of sun exposure. Water exposure, humidity, temperature extremes, and other environmental factors affect all finishes. By contrast, wooden items retrieved from the Egyptian pyramids have a new and fresh appearance after 4000 years of storage. Even there, however, fungal colonies were present, and mildew and fungus are another category of entities which attack varnish. In other words, the only coat of varnish with near perfect durability is the one stored in a vacuum, in darkness, at a low and unvarying temperature. Otherwise, care and upkeep are required. 4.8 Lacquer The word lacquer refers to quick-drying, solvent-based varnishes or paints. Although their names may be similarly derived, lacquer is not the same as shellac and is not dissolved in alcohol. Lacquer is dissolved in lacquer thinner, which is a highly flammable solvent typically containing butyl acetate and xylene or toluene. Lacquer is typically sprayed on, within a spray booth that evacuates overspray and minimizes the risk of combustion. Outside America, the rule of thumb is that a clear wood finish formulated to be sprayed is a lacquer, but if it is formulated to be brushed on then it is a varnish. Thus, by far most pieces of wooden furniture are lacquered. Lacquer may be considered different from varnish because it can be re-dissolved later by a solvent (such as the one it was dissolved in when it was applied) and does not chemically change to a solid like other varnishes. 4.9 Acrylic Acrylic varnishes are typically water-borne varnishes with the lowest refractive index of all finishes and high transparency. They resist yellowing. Acrylics have the advantage of water clean-up and lack of solvent fumes, but typically do not penetrate into wood as well as oils. They sometimes lack the brushability and self-leveling qualities of solvent-based varnishes. Generally they have good UV-resistance. In the art world, varnishes offer dust-resistance and a harder surface than bare paint – they sometimes have the benefit of ultraviolet light resistors, which help protect artwork from fading in exposure to light. Acrylic varnish should be applied using an isolation coat (a permanent, protective barrier between the painting and the varnish, preferably a soft, glossy gel medium) to make varnish removal and overall conservation easier. Acrylic varnishes used for such a final removable art protection layer are typically mineral-spirit–based acrylic, rather than water-based.
  • 9. 9 | P a g e Two-part Various epoxies have been formulated as varnishes or floor finishes whereby two components are mixed directly before application. Often, the two parts are of equal volume and are referred to as "part A" and "part B". True polyurethanes are two-part systems. All two-part epoxies have a "pot-life" or "working time" during which the epoxy can be used. Usually the pot-life is a matter of a few hours but is also highly temperature dependent. Both water-borne and solvent-based epoxies are used. 5. Conversion Used when a fast-curing, tough, hard finish is desired, such as for kitchen cabinets and office furniture. Comes in two parts: a resin and an acid catalyst. The first is a blend of an amino resin and an alkyd. The acid catalyst is added right before application in a set ratio determined by the manufacturer. Most produce minimal yellowing. There are, however, two downsides to this finish. The first is that as the finish cures, it gives off formaldehyde, which is toxic and carcinogenic. The second is that the finish can crack or craze if too many coats are applied.
