Visual and Colorimetry Assessments of Synthetic Resin Impregnated α -Cellulose Decor Paper Laminated Particleboard Surfaces: A Comparative Study

This study aims to visually and instrumentally examine the surfaces of particleboards laminated with white decor paper impregnated with α-cellulose-based melamine resin after treatment with five different surface processing agents. Samples of three different types (-A, -B, -C), each with three different grammages, were evaluated according to the TS EN 14323 standard, and color and texture changes were compared. The data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and the Duncan test. The lowest brightness value (L*: 92.79) was found in samples laminated with 110 g/m² grammage B-type decor paper and treated with water (Wa) and acetone (Ac). The a* color coordinate values were found to be negligible (a*:
