Outdoors, wood degrades due to weathering from factors such as solar radiation (ultraviolet, visible and infrared light), water (rain, dew, snow, humidity), temperature and atmospheric pollution (sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, …
In this work, a set of solvent-borne coatings for wood protection and finishing, 7 industrial and 2 experimental, was studied to verify their performance and the effects of artificial weathering. …
Wood plastic composites are mainly used in outdoor applications: decking, railing, window profiles, fencing and outdoor furniture. Therefor it is important to determine their behavior in UV exposure. In this …
Wood in outdoor application undergoes various degradation processes such as degradation throughout biological processes as well as weathering processes. In outdoor use wood is exposed to natural weathering and undergoes …
