Relationships between the performance of low-VOC wood coatings and the dimensional changes of the wooden substrate
Low VOC joinery wood coatings with different moisture permeability were tested in relation to dimensional changes, moisture content and performance after weathering. A permanent decrease in dimensions of coated wood and a linear correlation with moisture content was found. Coating permeability only partly relates to cracking, flaking and surface mould growth, due to the uncoated backside of the samples and differences in coating formulation.
Background and aims ::: To study the impact of land use change (LUC) from native vegetation and pasture to sugarcane cultivation as well as to evaluate the effect of different management practices on long-term SOC dynamics using the CENTURY ecosystem model.
