OUR PRODUCTS - PRODUCTS OF OUR USED SAWN TIMBER – RECYCLE – USES :-

BELIAN

Family Luaraceae

Scientific Names

Eusideroxylon Zwageri

Source

Southeast Asia

Wood Appearance

Belian heartwood is light to light yellow when freshly cut and darkens on exposure to light to a deep red brown similar to kwila. Grain is straight and texture is moderately fine to fine, and even. Belian is very durable.

Working Properties

In spite of its high density the wood can be sawn without difficulty, blunting of cutters is only moderate, machines cleanly. Difficult to glue with the synthetic resins.

Mechanical Properties:

Hard, heavy, strong and very dense timber

Uses

Heavy construction, bridge and wharf construction, railway sleepers and decking.

Grading:

Select and better.

Heavy construction, marine construction, boat construction, wharf construction, fence posts, heavy duty industrial flooring, fender supports, telegraphic and power transmission posts and cross arms, mallets, shingles, columns (heavy duty) and other works where high strength and durability are required

SELANGAN BATU (Shorea sp.)provided by our company is an average hardwood, which is easy to use and carve wood pieces. The normal color of Selangan Batu Logs can be yellow brown and also have fine texture with wavy and interlocked grain.

Heavy construction work, particularly when exposed to wet conditions and in contact with the ground. Bridges, railway sleepers, power line poles, flooring, etc,.

Heavy Construction, marine construction, piling, beams, columns (heavy duty), posts, joists, rafters, power line poles, mallets, fender supports, railway sleepers, vehicle bodies (framework and floor boards), plywood (structural purposes), joinery, cabinet making, heavy traffic flooring, cooling tower (structural member), heavy duty furniture, laboratory benches, door and window frames, staircase (carriages, newels and stringer), pallets (heavy and permanent type), tool handles (heavy impact), telegraphic and power transmission posts and cross arms

ALAN BATU

Family

Dipterocarpaceae

Other Names

Alan Bunga, Alan Meraka, Alan Paya, Selangan Merah, Meraka, Red Selangan
*Alan Batu is the commercial name of heavy Shorea albida. Alan Bunga is the commercial name of lighter Shorea albida.

Scientific Names

Shorea albida

Southeast Asia

Wood Appearance

The wood is red brown with clearly demarcated sapwood. Possible brittleheart and sometimes presence of white streaks (resin canals). The grain is straight or interlocked and the texture is medium. Density at 12 % moisture content: 0.80 g/cm3.

Working Properties

The blunting effect is fairly high and peeling and slicing is not recommended or without interest. Nailing is good but pre-boring is necessary. Risk of splitting in nailing. Gluing is correct. Resin may clog the tools and may have a blunting effect. Filling is recommended to obtain a good finish. Drying rate is normal and thin stocks must be dried with care to prevent distortions.

Durability

Alan Batu is moderately durable to fungi and it is durable to dry wood borers; sapwood demarcated (risk limited to sapwood).

Uses

This exclusive species is used for several purposes:
• interior: e.g. flooring, furniture, panelling and joinery , industrial or heavy flooring
• exterior: e.g. flooring, ship building, joinery, panelling, vehicle or container flooring

KERUING

Family

Dipterocarpaceae

Other Names

Gurjun, Dau, Keroeing, Mai Nhang, Mai sat, Keruing bajak, Keruing beras, Kanyin, Yang, Apitong, Hora

Scientific Names

Dipterocarpus spp.

Southeast Asia

Wood Appearance

The heartwood is light red to red brown or purplish red brown. Presence of resin. Possible wind shakes. It has clearly demarcated sapwood. The grain is straight or interlocked and the texture is coarse. Density at 12 % moisture content: 0.79 g/cm3.

Working Properties

The blunting effect is high; peeling is reported to be good and slicing is not recommended or without interest. Variable silica content. Some species are very resinous and tend to clog tools. Occasional tearing on quartersawn. Nailing is good but pre-boring is necessary. Gluing is correct but must be done with care due to the presence of resin. It dries slowly. Moisture content is very variable especially for the most resinous species. Careful stacking and end coating are recommended.

Durability

Keruing is moderately durable to fungi and is durable to dry wood borers; sapwood demarcated (risk limited to sapwood). Several species are regrouped under the name Keruing of the genus Dipterocarpus and the natural durability is variable from one species to another. It is thus recommended to restrict the use without preservative treatment for end-uses under biological hazard class 2.

Uses

Keruing can be used for several applications:

• interior: e.g. flooring, stairs, panelling, veneer, boxes and crates, joinery

• exterior: e.g. exterior joinery, panelling, ship building, bridges, wood frame house, vehicle or container flooring, heavy carpentry

Plywood for light woods. Resin and shakes may restrict end-uses. In Asia, this species is used for sleepers and poles with a treatment.

Wood Appearance

The wood varies from red brown to pink brown. Camphor smell. Presence of thin resin veins. It has clearly demarcated sapwood. The grain is straight or interlocked and the texture is medium. Density at 12 % moisture content: 0.74 g/cm3.

Working Properties

The blunting effect is normal to fairly high; peeling is reported to be good and slicing is not recommended or without interest. Nailing is good but pre-boring is necessary. Gluing is correct. Possible oxidation in contact with iron. Resin exudation sometimes troublesome in gluing. It dries slowly. Possible resin exudation during kiln drying.

Durability

Kapur is very durable to durable to fungi and is durable to dry wood borers; sapwood demarcated (risk limited to sapwood).

Uses
