After preservative treatments, wood surfaces were coated with three different varnish systems (polyurethane, acrylic and water-based). Effects of wood preservative chemicals on adhesion strength of varnish films were determined with a pull-out test technique according to the ASTM-D 4541. The highest adhesion strength was recorded with the polyurethane varnish system on sapelli sapwood surface. According to the results, the wood preservative systems used showed significant interference and reductions in adhesion strength of the varnish systems. In general, ACQ pretreated surfaces showed limited impact on adhesion strength when compared to CCA treated surfaces.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessadhesion strengthwood preservativeimpregnationCCAACQvarnishArticle5432332WOS:000271249900003Q2Q3
