Discolouration of thermally modified wood during simulated indoor sunlight exposure
This paper deals with the effect of UV light through window glass on the changes in colour of surfaces of uncoated and clear-coated thermally modified wood, and on chemical changes of surfaces of uncoated thermally modified and unmodified wood. Discoloration of the uncoated wood samples and those treated with three commercial transparent coatings (two-component polyurethane varnish, water-borne varnish, and nano-impregnation) was measured spectrophotometrically using CIELAB parameters (L*, a*, b* and E*). FTIR spectroscopy was used to study chemical changes caused by UV irradiation. Colour change (E*) was recorded in all tested wood samples after exposure to UV light, and the smallest discoloration was recorded in wood samples coated with two-component polyurethane varnish. FTIR spectroscopy results show that thermal treatment and exposure to UV light modify the chemical structure of wood surface and that the thermally modified samples exposed to UV light show similar changes as unmodified samples exposed to UV light, but less pronounced.
