Abstract
Wood undergoes photodegradation and photooxidation in the natural weathering process. UV attack of lignin. Only 200 microns are penetrated by light. Hydroperoxides produce chromophoric groups. Influence of outdoor weathering on performance. Macroscopic, microscopic, chemical physical changes. Discoloration due to fungi. Plywood weathering. Paints and penetrating finishes, stains.
