In
this study, it was aimed to determine the abrasion resistance and scratch resistance
of water-based, polyurethane and acrylic varnish applied to naturally aged and
fresh scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), sessile oak (Quercus petrea
L.) and chestnut (Castanea sativa M.) wood surfaces. The test samples
prepared for the experimental study were sanded with 150 grit sandpaper after
they were kept in condition of 20±2 oC and 65±5% relative humidity
until the equilibrium humidity was reached. The varnish was applied to the
surface of the test samples with a paint sprey gun perpendicular to the grains
and then parallel to the grains. Abrasion resistance was determined in
accordance with TS EN 15185 and scratch resistance was determined in accordance
with TS EN 15185 principles. As a result, it was determined that wood type, age
period (naturally aged and fresh) and section direction were not effective on
abrasion and scratch resistance, whereas varnish type was effective.
