The effect of wood density and extractive compounds on
heartwood durability against subterranean termites was studied.
Twelve species of Malaysian hardwoods were tested
against Coptotermes curvignathus and C. gestroi using a
standard laboratory method. The results indicated that
amount of extractive content is related to Malaysian hardwood
termite durability.
