Frequently Asked Questions About Our Products
What makes NEP paint thinners, varnishes, and binders natural?
Our products are formulated with plant-derived ingredients rather than petroleum-based chemicals. We source sustainable materials like walnut oil, plant resins, and citrus extracts that provide excellent performance while eliminating toxic compounds found in conventional alternatives. These make them ideal for home studios where ventilation may be limited.
Do natural varnishes provide adequate protection?
Absolutely. Our natural varnishes offer museum-quality, archival protection that has been rigorously tested for UV resistance, flexibility, and durability. Many professional artists and conservators trust our varnishes to protect valuable artwork for generations.
How do plant-based binders affect pigment performance?
Our plant-based binders enhance pigment performance by providing excellent dispersion and color stability. Artists typically notice improved flow, better colour saturation, and more consistent results compared to synthetic binders, all while maintaining archival quality.
Can natural varnishes be removed or refreshed?
Yes, our natural varnishes can be safely removed using our Eco-Solve natural paint thinner without damaging the underlying artwork. This allows for conservation work and varnish refreshing—a crucial consideration for collectors and professional artists.
Are these products suitable for food-contact surfaces?
Many of our products, including our Natural Varnish, are made with food-grade ingredients that are safe for items like children's toys, cutting boards, and serving utensils. Always check the specific product details for food-contact recommendations.
