Modification of wood colour of Acer platanoides L. to a brown-red shade caused by thermal treatment
Journal Title: Annals of WULS, Forestry and Wood Technology; Zeszyty naukowe SGGW - Year 2017, Vol 98, Issue
Abstract
The goal of this paper is to determine the colour of wood species Acer platanoides L. in CIE-L*a*b* colour space after thermal treatment – to modify the color of the wood by steam at a temperature of t = 125 – 130°C for the duration of τ = 7.5 h.The maple wood in the thermal process of color homogenization changes from a light brown-white color to a brown-red color shade. The color maple of the maple wood in the CIE-L * color space and * b * is described by the coordinates: L* = 63.31 ± 1.96; a* = 11.12 ± 0.47; b* = 19.22 ± 0.55. The irreversible change in the color of maple wood achieved through the process of heat treatment with water steam, increases the possibilities of wider use of maplewood in construction, art and design.
