Yellowing: Development of a yellow cast in aging
paint; most noticeable in the dried films of white paints
or clear varnishes.
Possible Causes:
Oxidation of alkyd or oil-based paint or varnish.
Heat from stoves, radiators and heating ducts.
Lack of light (e.g., behind pictures or appliances, inside
closets, etc.).
Solution:
Top quality latex paints do not tend to yellow, nor does
non-yellowing varnish. Alkyd paints, because of their
curing mechanism, do tend to yellow, particularly in areas
that are protected from sunlight. |
