What is post catalyzed lacquer?
In our final finish the catalyst (which is the strengthening and hardening agent in the lacquer) is added just prior to application and therefore it provides the hardest, toughest, most heat and water resistant finish of any lacquer product available today. The post catalyzed lacquer continues to cure for 21 days after the final application although within one hour, the piece is ready to be handled. When it comes to everyday use, our rule of thumb is, if something is too hot to touch, don’t put it directly on your furniture.
