A UV stable, colorless, reversible varnish made from hydrogenated hydrocarbon (Regalrez) resins dissolved in pure, low-aromatic solvents and a UV absorber and stabilizer. These varnishes will not cross-link nor yellow over 100 years as shown by the tests of de la Rie and McGlinchey (4). These varnishes qualify to be called Class A materials as defined by Feller (5).
