Talens 680 Protecting Spray

Talens 680 Protecting Spray is a specialized art conservation product designed to protect gouache, watercolor, and ink paintings from moisture and aging. The brand, Royal Talens, has a storied history dating back to 1899 when it was founded by Marten Talens in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. Known for its high-quality pigments and innovative art supplies, the company received the 'Royal' designation in 1949.

While the brand originated in the Netherlands and continues to manufacture its core products there, it is now part of a global conglomerate. In 1991, Royal Talens was acquired by the Sakura Color Products Corporation, a Japanese company famous for inventing the oil pastel and the Pigma Micron pen. Today, Royal Talens operates as a key subsidiary of Sakura, maintaining its Dutch production facilities while benefiting from a worldwide distribution network.
