Photostability of Transparent Surface Coatings of Wood

Abstract:

The paper deals with the evaluation of photostability of six selected transparent surface coatings applied on veneered furniture parts. It also estimates the influence factors such as exposure to natural sunlight in the interior, the length of exposure, wood species of used veneers and type of transparent coatings. The changing colour of surface treatment was evaluated on samples stored in the interior and being exposed to natural light behind the window glass for 6 months. Significant changes were occurred on surfaces treated with transparent coatings without UV absorber. During the first three months of exposure were arisen the most colour changes in transparent coatings of veneers.
