← Back to How to prepare the resin?

When creating art pieces with epoxy resin, it’s natural to wonder how well your finish will stand the test of time. A key concern is keeping that glossy clarity and preventing the yellowing effect caused by sunlight. Here’s how Art Pro resin addresses UV protection to preserve your artwork’s brilliance.
UV Protection Built In
Art Pro epoxy resin is formulated with a UV filter designed to help resist yellowing. This means it’s less prone to discolouration caused by exposure to sunlight, so your decorative trays, coasters, and surface coatings maintain their true colours and clarity for longer. While no resin is entirely immune to long-term sunlight, the added UV filter offers important defence, especially for pieces displayed in well-lit rooms.
Maximising Clarity in Your Artworks
To get the best optical results from your resin projects, mix Art Pro precisely using its 3:2 weight ratio as indicated. Apply in layers between 1–10 mm for a strong, glass-like surface. Consider placing items away from direct sunlight when possible, as this helps enhance longevity. For projects needing even more robust UV filtering, review alternatives like the One-2-One Epoxy Resin or fast-curing options for your specific needs.
When UV Protection Matters Most
- Display pieces near windows or bright areas
- Outdoor crafts used on covered patios or conservatories
- Long-term projects where visual clarity is crucial
Art Pro resin’s UV protection is particularly valuable in these scenarios, helping reduce yellowing and preserving your artistic investment.
