Abstract

In this study, changing effect of water-soluble varnishes on red color tone in different wood materials which were colored with water-soluble wood stains in brown tone has been researched. For this purpose, samples which were prepared from the Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis L.), Sessile oak (Quercus petreae L.) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) woods in accordance with TS 53 and TS 2470, after being colored with aniline, ready-mix and chemical stains according to ASTM-E 1347-97, were coated with one-component and two-component waterborne varnishes according to ASTM-D 3023. Color changes were determined in accordance with ASTM 2244. According to research results, the highest color change in red color tone was obtained on oak wood colored with ready-mix stain and after coated with one-component waterborne varnishes; and the lowest change was obtained on Scots pine wood colored with chemical stain and after coated with two-component varnishes. Keywords: Red color tone, Waterborne varnishes, Water-soluble stains, Wood material

Highlights

While choosing massive and veneer for furniture and decoration, the most important point to be considered is the color of wood as well as its structure
In case of demanding to keep natural structure of the wooden material, coloring can be performed with powder stains that solve in water as well as ready mix wood stains sold in the liquid state (Şanıvar, 1997)
‘‘Wood stains which are used on wood surfaces do not serve as protective layer, but create a change in color and tone.’’ Objects that are made from wooden material and left natural or coated without varnishing have low resistance against external effects (Sönmez, 2005)

Summary

Introduction

While choosing massive and veneer for furniture and decoration, the most important point to be considered is the color of wood as well as its structure. Different colors can be seen even in the same wood species (Şanıvar and Zorlu, 1999). In case of demanding to keep natural structure of the wooden material, coloring can be performed with powder stains that solve in water as well as ready mix wood stains sold in the liquid state (Şanıvar, 1997). ‘‘Wood stains which are used on wood surfaces do not serve as protective layer, but create a change in color and tone.’’ Objects that are made from wooden material and left natural or coated without varnishing have low resistance against external effects (Sönmez, 2005). Wood surfaces should be coated with protective layers (Sönmez, 1989)
