Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of Furfurylation treatment on adhesion strength of clear coatings and surface roughness of Beech (Fagus orientalis) wood. Furfurylation of specimens were performed by impregnation and heat catalyze up to 20% and 65% weight percent gain. Half of the specimens coated with acid catalyst paint and half of them coated with polyurethane based paint. Surface roughness and adhesion strength (Pull-off) and cross-hatch cutter test were analysed and compared to untreated specimens. Results revealed that 20% furfurylated specimens did not show significant difference in roughness and adhesion strength, compared to untreated control. But 65% furfurylated specimens caused decline in adhesion strength and raise in surface roughness. Polyurethane based paint had better efficiency and adhesion strength than acid catalyst paint. The highest adhesion strength observed in 20% furfurylated specimens coated with polyurethane and the least obtained in 65% furfurylated wood coated with acid catalyst paint.
