Color stability of weathered heat-treated teak wood

Abstract: This study investigated the color stability in a heat treatment of teak wood (Tectona grandis) exposed to ultraviolet radiation under accelerated aging conditions. Nine trees from three different spacing levels were used. Samples of 150 mm x 75 mm x 20 mm were prepared and divided into two groups: heartwood and sapwood. Two levels of heat treatment (180 and 200°C) were used. The color was measured every 42 hours with a portable spectrophotometer using the CIE-Lab system. Accelerated aging was performed in a QU… Show more

“…The erosion process is slow and depends on several factors such as anatomy of wood, density, proportion of earlywood and latewood, grain angle and angle of exposure (Williams 2005, Garcia et al 2014. According to the results, all wood specimens exposed to UV radiation of 350 nm for all the exposure periods generally showed negative values of ∆L*.…”

“…O ciclo total de exposição à radiação UV foi de 168 h à 0,68 W/m 2 com emissões de radiação no comprimento de onda de 340 nm, sendo realizadas medições de cor à cada 42 h tal como realizado por Garcia et al (2014).…”

“…The heat treatment or thermal modification has been widely studied because it promotes several advantages to the wood such as lower hygroscopicity, lower equilibrium moisture content, higher dimensional stability (Giebeler 1983), higher decay fungi resistance (Lekounougou and Kocaefe 2013) and color change (Garcia et al 2014. The heat-treated wood undergoes physical (Awoyemi andJones 2011, Bernabei andSalvatici 2016) and chemical modifications (Esteves et al 2011) but the last one is the most important in terms of impact on the properties of the material.…”
