Dudiak, Michal, 1993- The effect of sunlight on the change in color of native and steamed maple wood with saturated water steam / Michal Dudiak. -- Graf., obr., tab. -- Lit. - The differences in the color changes of native and steamed maple wood with saturated water steam caused by the action of sunlight on the surface of the wood in interiors for 36 months were presented in the paper. The pale shade of white-yellow of native maple wood darkened under the influence of sunlight, and the wood took on a pale brown-yellow color. The degree of darkening and browning is quantified by the value of the total color difference ∆E* = 19.1. The opposite brown-red color of the steamed maple wood brightened during the exposure due to sunlight, and the surface of the wood took on a brown-yellow color. The degree of lightening of the color of steamed maple wood in the color space CIE L*a*b* is quantified by the value of the total color difference ∆E* = 10.4. A comparison of the color changes of native and steamed maple wood caused by solar radiation through the total color differences ∆E* shows that the surface of steamed maple wood shows 45.5 % fewer color changes than the surface of native dazzled maple wood. This fact points to the fact that steaming maple wood with saturated water steam has a positive effect on the color stability and partial resistance of steamed maple wood to the initiation of photolytic and photolytic reactions induced by UV + VIS wavelengths of solar radiation.
