Description
The MINWAX COMPANY, THE 71033 is a water based, oil modified polyurethane finish designed for wood floor and surface protection. It combines the easy application and low odor of a water based formula with the durability typically associated with oil based coatings. The satin sheen delivers a smooth, understated finish suited to residential and light commercial wood surfaces. Maximum VOC content is 275 g/L, keeping it compliant with many regional VOC regulations. Cleanup requires only water, reducing solvent handling on the job site. The ultra fast drying formula helps reduce downtime between coats.
This polyurethane is intended for use on interior wood floors, furniture, cabinets, and millwork where a durable protective topcoat is needed. The satin finish is a common specification in residential remodel and new construction projects. It is applied by flooring contractors, finish carpenters, and painters working on interior wood surfaces. The one gallon container size is standard for single-room or smaller multi-room applications, and the package quantity of 2 units per case supports efficient restocking for supply-house distribution.
