Thesis by Ahmet Gunduz in Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences at Mugla Sitki Kocman University, Turkey. This thesis has been granted by the Mugla Sitki Kocman University Research Projects Coordination Office through Project Grant Number (16/030).This study was designed to investigate some surface characteristics such as gloss, color, and surface hardness changes of Scots pine wood preimpregnated with some copper-based chemicals before varnish coating after accelerated weathering. While Adolit KD-5 (AD-KD 5), Wolmanit CX-8 (WCX-8), and Celcure AC-500 (CAC-500) were used as copper-based impregnation chemicals, water-based varnish (WBV) was used as a coating material. Results showed that surface hardness and gloss values of Scots pine were increased after accelerated weathering. Impregnated and WBV coated Scots pine gave better surface characteristics compared to only WBV coated Scots pine. In impregnation chemicals, while AD-KD 5 showed the most appropriate chemical, in terms of surface hardness and total color changes, CAC-500 was found the most valuable chemical in terms of gloss changes after 1000 h accelerated weathering exposure.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessScots pineSurface propertiesCopper-based chemicalsWater-based varnishAccelerated weatheringArticle646987998Q2Q3
