International Biodeterioration and Biodegradation, 2015
The purpose of this study was to evaluate survival and wood consumption of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, on ten different species of wood used as commercial lumber. Six of the wood species had natural resistance to termites and caused an average of >75% mortality.

Journal of the Institute of Wood Science, 2006
AbstractNatural resistance of nine Malaysian woods to Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) a subterranean termite has been discussed. Wood species included are keledang, kelat, kempas, rengas, perah mempening, jati, kembang semangkok and kedondong. Of these, teak proved most resistant to termite attack. Keledang, rengas, kempas

Natural resistance of five woods to Phanerochaete chrysosporium degradation
International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 2010Abstract This research evaluated the natural resistance of five woods to the white-rot wood-destroying fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium under laboratory conditions and in nature. The studied species were Hymenaea stigonocarpa , Anadenanthera colubrina , Caesalpinia ferrea , Manilkara huberi and Delonix regia .

Natural Decay Resistance of Wood
1975This part of the Symposium was originally intended to deal with the decay process in resistant wood, as distinct from susceptible wood, but very little work has been done in this field. The present paper deals with the wider field of natural decay resistance. The topic has been comprehensively reviewed by Scheffer and Cowling (1966) and by Kumar (1971).

Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering, 2019
The present work reports the inclusion of different proportions of Mango/Sheesham/Mahogany/Babool dust to polypropylene for improving mechanical, wear behavior and biodegradability of wood-plastic composite (WPC). The wood dust (10%, 15%, 20% by weight) was mixed with polypropylene granules and WPCs were prepared using an injection molding technique ...

Natural decay resistance of LVL made of veneers from durable and non-durable wood species
Holz als Roh- und Werkstoff, 2005Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) was laboratory manufactured using veneers from decay and non decay resistant species in order to evaluate changes in the durability as a result of the LVL manufacturing process, and to test if the mixing of decay resistant species and non decay resistant species can improve durability.
