Summary: | Finishing is the final process in furniture manufacturing. It is an important process
that evaluates the value of the furniture product and protects wood surfaces. Often,
shellac is the most popular finishing material due to its economical price and
function in giving the desired appearance and providing a cleanable surface.
Plywood is the most popular material that is used in wood industry that includes
furniture making. wall paneling. and flooring. The purpose of this study is to
determine the finishing properties of plywood using shellac with different finishing
method and different number of coating layer. Surface roughness ~ hardness test,
adhesion test and the household chemical test were used to determine the strength of
the shellac coating into plywood. Spray finishing method has given an excellent
result for the surface roughness and coating hardness. Meanwhile; brush finishing
method has given an excellent result of the coating adhesion and resistance to
household chemicals. However, the numbers of layer coating bas either affects on
coating adhesion and the household test by using brush bas DO effects on surface
roughness or coating hardness. |
