Veneer sheets were densified using pressure levels of 4 MPa, 8 MPa and 12 MPa at three temperatures: 100°C, 150°C and 200°C for a short time of 4 min. Wettability was determined by measuring contact angles with distilled water. The results were compared with those of non-densified veneers. Theresultsshowedthatinarelativelyshortprocesstimewettabilitycanbechangedsignificantly.The wettability analysis showed that STTM-densified veneer surfaces became more hydrophobic, which indicates poor wettability. However, it was found that even STTM densification of veneers provides stable properties; in particular, contact angle values were stable for 24 hours after densification, which is an important consideration for industrial applications. The effect of temperature on the contact angle was more evident than that of pressure.Linear correlations were foundbetween contact angle and both mass loss and compression ratio for all investigated wood species. These findingsmay be used toprovide initial data for adhesive/coating application processes in woodworking industry. 2016 artículo científico 0717-3644 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=48544479008 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=485 Maderas.
