Abstract

In this study, the possibility of using superchrome and Fantachrome coatings on beech and poplar surface was investigated. Initially, samples were cut into 2×10×10 cm dimensions and after coating with superchrome and fantachrome paints, pull-off and cross-cut adhesion, contact angle and gloss tests were performed on their surface. The properties of coated surface was investigated by light microscopy. According to the results, the contact angle of the coated samples with superchrome and fantachrome significantly increased compared with the control sample in both beech and poplar species. The highest and the lowest amounts of pull-off adhesion strength of superchrome and fantachrome coatings were in fantachrome-coated beech and superchrome-coated poplar, respectively. Also, the results of cross cut adhesion test confirmed the results of pull-off test. After coating, the gloss content of the specimens significantly increased and the highest gloss was related to fantachrome coatings on beech and poplar samples, 141.8 and 141.7 gloss units (GU), respectively. In addition, the results of microscopic examination showed that the primary primer of the coating penetrated the wood texture by 4 microns but the surface chrome coating was 11 microns thick on the wood surface.
