Abstract
Assessment of the impact of UV radiation on selected properties of the transparent coating for wood finishing. Work presents the research on selected properties of the transparent coating for wood, exposed to UV irradiation, and then assessed against the impact of UV radiation on the selected properties. Resistance against abrasion and scratches and relative hardness of the coatings were investigated. Work was performed in accordance toapplicable standards. It was observed that UV exposure of acrylic-polyurethane and polyurethane-solvent coatings does not adversely affect relative hardness, scratch resistance and abrasion resistance.
