Why Teak Products Dried?

Activities drying teak products directly in the sun made by several manufacturers both small-scale home industry to big factories with production capacity of over 50 container 40 feet in size every month. Teak wood is known to have a good texture value and high-grade durable so they have aesthetic value and selling high. There are several reasons why the furniture is made from teak wood is dried and preferably should be done routinely in some production processes.

Moisture Content
At least with the direct product drying in the sun, the wood will undergo a process of drying and the amount of water contained in the timber will come out. This routine usually done since the wood is still in the form of sawn timber. Limitations dryers are available is one reason for the small industries to simply make such a natural way. However, this does not mean not true, as far as we can have good control tool to see the level of MC in the wood this way was more economical. And when the natural drainage is obstructed weather and production schedules, then the drying is continued until the stage of finished goods products. Which will be considered is that drying does not guarantee that all parts of dry wood as expected. For furniture manufacturers who already have their own Kiln Dry, drying teak wood has been done since the beginning when he was in the form of sawn timber.
Wood Color
Teak wood has a texture typical of the black lines (a certain teak class) and sometimes reddish. Technically this is not a quality problem but the aesthetically more consumers who want to color it eliminated or identified. By the way direct hang to the sun can make teak color change but not much different. Older dried teak wood, the color will be better. Sap natural wood will come out and the sap is out to change the color of teak. A chemical are often used by teak furniture manufacturer, term is H2O2. A kind of hard water is applied directly on the surface of teak wood with a brush before drying the product. Chemical reaction would make teak wood more homogeneous color after drying. These chemicals have proved effective to match the color of teak and this method is often also seen in the plant cane with the same purpose, making the color of all materials to be uniform.
Health Hazards
Some buyers, who already know that teak furniture manufacturers apply the way, began prohibiting the use of H2O2 as very dangerous for health factory workers or for consumers who purchase the product. Because the material is toxic and prolonged exposure will irritate the skin and respiratory problems.
