Abstract

The depth profile of weathering effects on wood was studied after the laboratory ultraviolet exposure of fir-wood. The ‘thin strip’ method (ie the measurement of changes in tensile properties of microtomed wood sections) was modified in terms of exposure of batches of strips packed in bundles and exposed in a QUV apparatus. The bundles of strips were exposed untreated, covered with surface strips that had been impregnated with chromium (VI) trioxide or Fe(III) nitrate, or protected with free films of clear stain with photostabilisers and without photostabilisers.
