Bleaching
Bleaching in surface technology is a process used to change the color of materials or remove impurities to create a bright, uniform surface. This process is used in various industries and applications, from textile and paper manufacturing to the treatment of wood and other materials.
In woodworking, bleaching is used to lighten wood surfaces and give them a uniform appearance. This can be achieved by chemical bleaching agents or by using UV light to reduce discoloration and stains.
Overall, bleaching is an important process in surface engineering that helps to brighten, clean and enhance materials to achieve the desired aesthetic and functional properties.
