Laropal A81

I noticed that in July this year Conservation Resources (U.K.) Ltd.
began offering a urea-aldehyde resin called "Laropal A81", that I
have not heard of before. Have conservators used this as a varnish
on paintings? Has anyone done any aging tests done on it? Might it
have better aging characteristics than Laropal K80?
