We fabricate our cabinetry interiors using Columbia's 3/4" pre finished maple plywood through Aura Harwoods out of San Jose, California. The Columbia product number is # MPF18VC2W0. I spoke with an Aura representative this morning and he said they have an open PO # 12549 for this product from Columbia. I know the product has a baked on finish but what is the finish exactly. My customer would like to use some type of shelf liner on interior shelves and the product he selected states not to be used on a lacquer or urethane finish. I would appreciate if you could let me know what type of finish Columbia uses, so I can pass the information on to my customer.

Thank you, Judy

The finish used is called a UV cured acrylate. It is not "baked" on, but rather it's exposed to ultraviolet light which causes the finish to cure (harden). It is much more solvent resistant than a lacquer or oil based urethane.

I ran this scenario past the technical lab guys that make the finish and they say it should not be a problem with your shelf paper.
