dc.abstract.enThe aim of this pioneering study was to compare and evaluate two different pre-treatment processes of wooden surfaces prior to varnishing by sanding or thermal compression in terms of the impact on the color characteristics of the varnished surface. In the experiment, a wood veneer of black alder and birch before varnishing was subjected to sanding with a sandpaper of 180 grit size, or thermal compression at temperatures of 180 and 210 °C. Three different kinds of commercially manufactured transparent varnish (water-based (WB) varnish, polyurethane (PUR) varnish and UV-cured (UV) varnish) were applied to the prepared veneer surfaces. The samples prepared in this way were also subjected to an artificial aging process in indoor conditions by ultraviolet light and infrared irradiation (UVL + IR). The colors of the surfaces in the CIE L*a*b* system were measured and color differences (ΔL*, Δa*, Δb* and ΔE) were determined for sanded and thermally densified, unvarnished and varnished, as well as subjected to accelerated aging surfaces. It was found that thermally densified surface-varnished veneer is more resistant to color changes during artificial aging compared to when sanded and surface-varnished. The transparent varnish systems showed better photo-stability, when thermally densified wood veneer was used as substrate than that of sanded wood. The WB varnish showed the greatest resistance to discoloration during UVL + IR irradiation, followed by PUR and UV. The preliminary findings obtained in this study indicated that replacing the sanding process with thermal compression of wood surface before varnishing could be considered as an alternative method of producing varnished panels with satisfactory color properties of surface.
