English term or phrase: provides surface ''tooth''

Seems a sort of sealant or varnish liquid, pls see below thanks

Seals, stiffens and provides surface ''tooth'' for painting surfaces. Permanent, non-yellowing, flexible and water resistant when dry. Apply to raw canvas, hardboard, paper, wood and other non-oily porous surfaces

Have no more info as its a vocab list on excel which is not great without more context

da rugosidad a la superficie a pintar

Explanation:
Another option for you.

proporciona/da/brinda rugosidad a la superficie a pintar

From the glossary of terms from Xpedx México, a print and paper company:
"rugosidad (Tooth).- Es la característica del papel consistente en una ligera aspereza en el acabado, que le permite tomar fácilmente la tinta"

http://www.xpedx.com.mx/asp/GlosarioTerminos.asp?inicio=r&Si...

Wikipedia article on "Pintura al pastel":
"Como soporte es común utilizar papel de buena calidad...y de ligera rugosidad..."
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pintura_al_pastel

Materiales y técnicas del arte de Ralph Mayer, p.384:
"...y queden mecánicamente unidas a la superficie, bien por el diente (rugosidad), bien por la porosidad (absorción) de la superficie. La superficie debe ser o rugosa o porosa..."

http://books.google.es/books?id=xkQqs7-b03wC&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3&...

Y de la 1ª página del mismo:
"DIBUJO
Para aplicar un pigmento a una superficie o base, el primer requisito es, en muchos casos, que la base tenga una cierta rugosidad."

Reference information:
Pastel Paper Textures

There is a pretty wide range of pastel paper types available from numerous manufacturers. Most have several varieties of 'tooth' and type of texture. By 'tooth' all we mean is the coarseness of the surface.

This photo of a sheet of 'rough' watercolor paper will give you an idea of what I'm on about...

http://www.how-to-draw-and-paint.com/pastel-paper.html

The best pastel paper has some tooth, or grain, to it that can grab and hold the medium, which does not stick to a slick surface easily.
