dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the impact of a water repellent chemical used in the textile industry on certain physical properties of wood materials. Uludağ fir (Abies bornmülleriana Mattf) and Oriental beech wood (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) were used as wood materials and Ruco-DryEco®, a water-based, fluorine-free product for textile industry, was used as chemical material. This product is used at a concentration of 3% in the treatment of textiles. In the impregnation of wood material samples, 3 different concentrations of solution were used. After the impregnation with 5% and 10% concentrations, the study was repeated at 50% concentration because the expected water repellency was not achieved. Weight percent gain (WPG), bulking effect (BE), water uptake rate (WU), water repellent efficiency (WRE), volumetric swelling (S) and anti-swelling efficiency (ASE) values of the samples treated with this chemical were determined. The results obtained were compared with the control group samples. According to the data obtained, WPG and BE values increased as the solution concentration increased. In addition, the increase in impregnation time and the use of crosslinker also caused a relatively small increase in WPG values. The study revealed that impregnation time did not have much effect on BE. The WU of the samples decreased slightly compared to the control group. As the amount of water repellent adhering to the material increased, WU also decreased. S values of all treatment groups decreased compared to the control group. However, impregnation with low concentration solutions did not provide a significant ASE. For both wood species, higher ASE values were obtained as the solution concentration increased. | en_US |
