Effects of Heat Treatment Temperature on the Color of Okan Wood Flooring
Okan flooring specimens were treated for four hours in a heating chamber with superheated steam and oxygen content less than 2 percent.The effects of treating temperature(160,2,20 ℃) on specimen color were investigated.The results showed that as the temperature increased,the specimen color became darker.It was observed that the temperature impact on sapwood was more obvious than that on heartwood when the temperature was under 200 ℃.However,the sapwood and heartwood color tended to be the same when the treatment temperature was above 200 ℃.
