polyurethaned

Given glossy coating

Polyurethaned describes a surface that has been coated or finished with polyurethane, a durable synthetic resin that forms a hard, protective layer.

The term appears most often in woodworking and flooring contexts: The polyurethaned hardwood floors gleamed in the afternoon light.

Like other past participles pressed into adjective service, it sounds technical but communicates efficiently.
