Conversion Finish - ultraviolet-curing finish, epoxy finish, moisture-curing polyurethane, pre-catalyzed and catalyzed lacquer finishes.

Lacquer and conversion are the most common finishes found on any kitchen cabinet.  The cabinet industry mainly goes for the conversion finish as it is highly durable, dries up faster and long-lasting.  Conversion finish also makes a product ‘heat resistant’ and is being used since 1930. Conversion finished cabinets are always easy to clean so plan the right one before you buy.

Don’t panic! Conversion finish is not the only one that can be kept dirt-free; all the above finishes can be kept fresh and new with some water, a soft cotton fabric and gentle soap. You can clean the cabinets using water and soap but always ensure to make it dry once you are done with the job. Further you can also use some lemon oil if your cabinet is looking “dull & dreary“.
