| Summary: | Oil palm is the largest and most important plantation crop in Malaysia. Oil Palm Lumber (OPL) is seen as a strategic alternative wood material in Malaysia. The material is low in quality and various techniques have been used to improve its quality. The application finishes to protect the surface and enhance the aesthetic qualities of the timbers. Finishing also helps to enhance the attractiveness of the surface texture, dimensional stability and durability. This study was carried out to compare the finishing properties of acid catalyst lacquer on OPL. It also determine the suitability of techniques or system which applied on OPL. Three types of finishing testing was used to determine the properties of lacquer which is house hold test, heat resistance test and pencil hardness test. Based on results from different coating material used in this study, the surface finished with acid catalyst shows good performance on household test and heat resistance. |
