The Effect of Some Chemicals on the Color Properties of Beech (Fagus Orientalis L.) Wood
Öz
Abstract
Aim of study: Wood material has a unique color in the natural condition. The wood colorization process is necessary to provide a tonality in the wood materials used in interior design and decoration and to obtain different colors. One of the most important steps of the coloring or bleaching process is selecting appropriate chemical for wood type. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, sodium silicate and acetic acid applied periodically three times on the color changes of radial and tangent sections of beech (Fagus Orientalis L.) samples.
Area of study: This study was conducted at Karabük University and Düzce University, in Turkey.
Material and Methods: The color values of the samples were measured according to the CIEL*a*b* color system.
Main results: As a result, the effect of cutting direction, chemical type, and application repeat on changes in the color values of beech samples was found significant.
Research highlights: The maximum color change in the beech samples was determined in the radial section as cutting direction, in the application of the sodium silicate as the chemical type and it was also obtained in the third repeat as the number of applications.
