Pristine and glossy surfaces are so attractive, you’ll easily and confidently serve food on them.
Done well, they are so shiny that you can stare back at yourself on such surfaces, be it countertops, wooden doors, or even floorboards.
But, have you ever considered paint varnish on your own spaces? Have you imagined how your countertops and doors can be enhanced by varnish?
If not, it’s time to.
They say ‘varnish on nails take an old outfit and make it new,” and we cannot agree more.
See, no matter what colour you fancy, only a perfectly done furnish can elevate the surface to a status of beauty. Besides aesthetic uses, which is adding a shine on surfaces, varnish protects the paint layer from dust, air pollution, and abrasion during surface cleaning.
So, what is paint varnish?
Varnish is basically resin as a liquid material that dries up to leave a transparent film on surfaces. Not just resin, but a combination of drying oil, drier, and volatile solvent.
The application of varnish on surfaces is a chemical reaction, in that when the paint dries, the solvent portion evaporates, and the remaining constituents oxidize or polymerize to form a durable transparent film that’s just beautiful to look at.
Initially, varnish paints were made from naturally occurring resins from plants. The process was tiresome, and the varnish took a lot of time to dry and would develop cracks in later years. That has since been replaced by varnishes containing synthetic resins like alkyd, epoxy resins, polyurethane, phenolic, and vinyl. Synthetic resins are manufactured in large amounts and through technology, can be made for different uses.
At Crown Paints, we have different varnishes for different uses. This is because a varnish for a countertop is different from a varnish that coats a yacht! For a countertop, the varnish adds sleekness and makes the surface easy to look at and wipe. For a yacht, the varnish is mainly for protecting the body from absorbing water.
