Damage from Ultraviolet Light is the #1 Problem for Framers
When art, sketches and images are not protected properly, harmful UV rays can age the artwork by breaking the chemical bonds of color molecules. The more the color molecules break down, the more the once flawless art fades away. When the damage is done, the effects are irreversible. The good news? This is preventable when using ACRYLITE ® Gallery UV filtering acrylic!
