It is necessary to know the different properties of the wood material belonging to each tree species to be able to use it correctly and efficiently. This study was carried out to investigate the evaluation possibilities of persian silk (Albizia julibrissin) wood in UV system parquet industry. UV system parquet varnishes were applied to persian silk wood in 3 and 5 layers in a parquet factory according to industrial applications. The materials obtained later were exposed to accelerated UV aging processes using UVA-340 lamps for 252 and 504 hours. Color parameters (L*, a* and b*), glossiness values, könig pendulum hardness and surface adhesion resistance (MPa) tests were carried out before and after aging. It has been observed that these tests change with aging. As a result, persian silk (Albizia julibrissin) wood can be used in the parquet industry.
