Sažetak
Wood pH has been studied with regard to its affecting some change on wood surface. The change on wood surface was analyzed after the following: -chemical treatment ; -aging in room climate ; - exposure to the sun, rain and surrounding atmosphere ; -exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Each treatment was followed by measurements of the pH and the adhesion of the NC varnish. The procedure of pH measurement on the wood surface with a combined surface electrode was devised. A 25 mm circel was drawn on the wood surface with NC varnish to prevent water spreading along the fibers. Into the circle 0, 75 ml of water was applied, the electrode plunged in. After 5 minutes, the pH was measured. Within this time, no negative effects of carbon dioxide on the water pH were established. The research was done on fir, beech, oak and poplar. After chemical treatment, the pH on the wood surface varied depending on the chemical used but some general conclusions about the effects of pH on the following adhesion may be drawn.
