Evaluation of using Klucel G on the Physical properties of sycamore wood

Wood was used in the past in many industries in daily life, including wooden coffins, in which many local woods were used. These woods were affected by various damage factors such as high temperatures and humidity, which led to the weakening of these woods and made them vulnerable to the appearance of various deterioration aspects. Several consolidating materials were used to improve the physical and mechanical properties, as the study sheds light on the use of Klucel G, as it is one of the best materials used in the recent consolidation of archaeological wooden objects, which gave satisfactory results, klucel G concentration ,05 % and Klucel G concentration 05 % with Nano paraloid concentration 1% by dissolving it in ethyl alcohol (ethanol), Visual assessment and several analytical techniques were used for the evaluation of the selected consolidate material . The analytical techniques are Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Color change and Measurement of physical Properties (Color Change CIE Lab, Density, Porosity and Water Absorption) . The results obtained from Color change revealed that Klucel G 0.5% gave the level of total color differences (ΔE) KG1A and KG1AA with 2.38 and 1,69 respectively compared to the standard sample STA gave 1.24 . The Density (g/cm3) to Klucel G 0.5% They are (KG1A) and (KG1AA), which results in (0.443 g/cm3) and (0.413 g/cm3), respectively, have the highest density compared to the density of the rest of the samples of other materials and compared to the standard sample STH (0.425 g/cm3).
