Natural weathering on coated tropical woods
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020 Abstract Teak and pine are common wood species in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the performance of the coating layer in these wood species after six months natural weathering. The durability on natural weathering is evaluated due to microbial disfigurement (fungi or algae), checking and cracking, whereas ...
