Moisture-cured polyurethane is solvent-based finish akin to oil-based finishes. During the drying process, these finishes take in the air’s moisture vapor, stimulating a reaction that causes the coat to harden. They thrive in humid atmospheres. Moisture-cured finishes feature a combination of qualities from both oil- and water-based polyurethane. Like oil-based mixtures, moisture-cured finishes offer higher durability and better water-resistance due to their thicker solvent density on top of their cured, hard surface. They take up to a day to fully dry but require only one to two coats. Moisture-cured finishes also come in clear and amber-tinted coats, providing you with two different types of looks similar to those that the other polyurethane finishes create.
