Finishes

Lacquer

A fast-drying, solvent-based or water-based clear or pigmented finish commonly used as the topcoat on cabinet surfaces. Lacquer provides a hard, durable film that resists moisture and household chemicals. Catalyzed (pre-catalyzed and post-catalyzed) lacquers are the industry standard for production cabinet finishing because they cure to a harder, more chemical-resistant film than traditional lacquers.
