Abstract
In this study, “nanolacke ultraviolet (UV) varnish,” developed by a Turkish dyeing and varnish company and widely accepted as a 21st century technology, has been compared to other conventional varnish types that are widely used in the industry in order to compare the dry film resistance properties of the varnishes. In this study, cellulosic, polyurethane, polyester, synthetic, and nanolacke ultraviolet varnishes were applied to beech (Fagus orientalis L.) and oak (Quercus robur L.)wood samples that had been prepared according to industry standards. Then, specular gloss, pencil hardness (scratch resistance) and surface resistance to cold liquids of these layers were determined according to the ASTM D 523-89, ASTM D 3363-00, and TS 3584 EN 12720 standards, respectively. The results of this study demonstrated that the nanolacke UV varnish had dry film resistance properties of gloss, scratch resistance and surface resistance to cold liquids that were superior to these same properties for the conventional varnishes. Key words: Wood, varnish, nanotechnology, coatings.
