Both Ronseal and Dulux sell a solvent based polyurathane clear varnish.

On the Dulux website they say their polyurathane is a 'trade' varnish.

Is there anything to choose between the Ronseal and Dulux products? What
I'm looking for is the hardest wearing matt finish that is fairly easy to
apply. It's for a table top surface.

The tradesman who polyurethaned our floor recommended gloss (two coats, I
think), followed by matt (or satin). This produces a surface that is both
hard-wearing and looks good.
