UV Filter for Protection Against Yellowing

How UV Filters Help Prevent Yellowing

Ultra-violet light is one of the main causes of resin discolouration. UV filters, incorporated into quality epoxies such as Art Pro and Icrystal, intercept and slow this process, enhancing colour stability and longevity. While no resin is completely immune to sunlight, UV-stabilised resins significantly reduce visible yellowing, helping maintain a clear, glossy finish for longer.

Choosing UV-Resistant Epoxy Resin

For projects exposed to sunlight or artificial lighting, it’s wise to select resins formulated for UV resistance. Look for products that specifically mention an integrated UV filter in their descriptions. Options like Art Pro, Icrystal, and Trasparente all provide anti-yellowing protection suited for everything from table tops to artistic pours.

• Art Pro: Contains UV protection, ideal for clear coatings and artwork finishing.
• Icrystal: Odourless with a UV filter, suitable for tables and fine crafts.
• Trasparente: Multipurpose use with built-in UV shielding, perfect for casting and decorative surfaces.

Practical Guidance for Lasting Results

Always mix components according to the manufacturer’s instructions and apply the resin in recommended thicknesses to maximise protection. Even with a UV filter, consider placing finished pieces away from direct sunlight where possible for optimal clarity year after year.
