In this study, the changes in glossiness (parallel (//) and perpendicular (perpendicular to) to the fibers at 20o, 60o, and 85o), the pull -off adhesion test, color parameters (CIEL) and pendulum hardness (K & ouml;nig method) of two different UV curable varnishes applied to linden (Tilia tomentosa Moench.) according to industrial application techniques and exposed to artificial weathering were investigated. According to the research results, while L*, Delta H*, and ho decreased with increasing weathering time in both varnish layers, Delta C*, b*, Delta E*, a*, and C* rose. The pendulum hardness grew for Method B but dwindled for Method A. A decrease was found in the adhesion tests for both varnish methods after artificial weathering. The glossiness was generally reduced due to artificial weathering for all the angles and for both directions, with the exception of 85 degrees in Method A. The variance analysis and homogeneity groups showed that the changes in the adhesion, pendulum hardness, L*, a*, ho, C*, perpendicular and parallel to the fibers for 60o and 85o were found to be significantly different with artificial weathering for both methods.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesslindenweatheringUV cured varnishcolorpendulum hardnessadhesionglossinessArticle6621210.53502/wood-1776362-s2.0-85184214611Q3WOS:001154832700007Q3
