Description

Schmincke Citrus Pastell-Fixativ is a professional-grade fixative designed to preserve the integrity and beauty of pastel artwork. With a pleasant mild citrus scent, this low-odour spray makes the application process far more comfortable than traditional alcohol-based fixatives, whilst delivering exceptional protection without compromising the artist’s original vision.

Key Properties:

• Colourless and non-yellowing – preserves true colour values over time
• Age-resistant formula – protects against fading and environmental damage
• Fast-drying application – typically dry within minutes
• Mild citrus fragrance – significantly reduces harsh chemical odour
• Dual-purpose function – works as both intermediate and final fixative

Application Guidance:

Shake the can well before use. Hold at approximately 30-40 cm distance from the artwork and spray in light, even cross-hatch strokes. Work in a well-ventilated area. Allow adequate drying time between coats if using as an intermediate fixative. A light application is sufficient – excessive fixative can reduce the luminosity of pastel paintings.

The formulat ion is based on high-quality synthetic resin dissolved in alcohol, delivering strong adhesion without the brittleness or colour shift associated with some inferior products. Professional artists and serious hobbyists trust Schmincke fixatives for museum-quality preservation of their work.
