Evaluation of using Klucel G on the Mechanical and Chemical properties of Sycamore wood

This paper describes the effect of using Klucel G dissolved in ethyl alcohol (ethanol)concentration of 1 , 2% on some samples of thermally and photo aging sycamore wood, Which is famous for its use in the manufacture of wooden coffins in ancient Egypt, and assessing its efficiency on some mechanical and chemical properties of sycamore wood through the use of some tests and analyzes were used to evaluate the concentrations of Klucel G using examination with a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to define the surface changes before samples consolidation, and measuring pressure forces( Mechanical Properties) and Using Fourier-Transform infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, the results of the tests and analyzes showed an improvement in the mechanical and chemical properties of the aging thermally and photo aging sycamore wood samples treated with Klucel G 1% concentration . The obtained data were used to evaluate the deterioration status of the coffin and to establish suitable treatment methods.
