Glossiness Evaluation of Coated Wood Surfaces as Function of Varnish Type and Exposure to Different Conditions

The objective of this study was to evaluate the glossiness black alder wood (Alnus glutinosa L.) samples coated with two varnish types as a function exposure dry heat and artificial aging. chemical resistance cold liquids also evaluated. Based on findings in work, it appears that their structural differences influenced overall samples. UV exhibited higher gloss values than those water-borne product within range silky matte grades. surface UV-coated more varnish. decreased time aging, resulting no layer cracks. household left less visible traces surfaces alcohol found be strongest agent. This could have practical applications furniture industry produce value-added units according specific conditions indoor use.
