Laropal K80 (Beads)
Ketone resin. Cyclohexanone construction with an equivalent film saturation and optical reflection to Damar. Dissolve in Artists’ White Spirit for the manufacture of picture varnish for oil and acrylic paintings. Less prone to blooming or yellowing than natural resins. Langridge does not recommend the use of Laropal K80 in artists’ painting mediums as it is too easily solubilised by the solvent content of succeeding layers.
