Open-access Artificial Weathering in Tectona grandis Slides Treated with Finishing Products

This study aims to evaluate the effects of weather exposure to artificial weathering in the color of teak wood veneer treated with finishing products. The samples received 2 types of products, the sealer and the stain, plus witnesses, unfinished. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 4 replications. Slides were exposed to QUV-Accelerated Weathering Test simulator for 7 periods as follow: 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192 and 384 hours. Color measurements were made after each period of weathering using the spectrophotometer Color Eye XTH. The chromatic variables evaluated were: L *, a *, b *, C * and h*. The study concluded that the teak wood veneer had color alterations with the exposure time and the stain was more efficient in preserving the wood color.
