FUNDAMENTAL STUDY ON IMPROVING THE DURABILITY OF EXTERIOR WOOD WITH PAINT MIXED WITH INORGANIC MATERIALS

As the life of buildings is required to be extended, we tried to increase the durability of exterior wood by coating it with a paint that is a composite of organic-inorganic materials with excellent weather resistance. An accelerated weathering test comparing the durability of wood coated with various paints and an actual environmental exposure test simulating a wall surface were carried out. As a result, it was confirmed that the developed organic-inorganic composite paint has a durability improving effect on exterior wood as compared with general organic paints.
