Subterranean Termite Resistance of Polystyrene-Treated Wood from Three Tropical Wood Species. [PDF]
Insects, 2016 The objective of this work was to investigate the resistance of three Indonesian wood species to termite attack. Samples from sengon (Falcataria moluccana), mangium (Acacia mangium), and pine (Pinus merkusii) were treated with polystyrene at loading levels of 26.0%, 8.6%, and 7.7%, respectively.
