Product introduction:
Tan, Sanskrit is the sacrifice, because of its wood close hard, aroma fragrance lasting, colorful and complex and impenetrable, even immortality, and could avoid illnesses, so it is also called San tan.Several world of sandalwood only Shen wingceltis, sandalwood, green Tan, ebony, rosewood, red sandalwood, but very limited quantities.People often regard it as a mascot, to keep good luck.
Red sandalwood has been called. When the last century ninety'sentered China, were identified as red wood, 2001 is correct, it is red iron pigeon. Its fine structure, wood color gratifying, decorative pattern is verybeautiful, a lot of features are similar to the w.. Ironwood pea speciesthroughout the world has about 100 species, native to tropical Americaand Africa, Africa common timber species are: green leafy iron pigeonand Madagascar Ironwood beans two. Heartwood pale red, yellow, redbrown, long time depth conversion, with purple, and often accompanied by shades of white stripes (like muscle fiber). Structure slightly coarse to fine texture, wavy or staggered. Shiny wood, with a hint of sweet fragrance. Air dry density is less than 1 g/cm3. The material is very hard.Planing, turning, good abrasion resistance. It is corrosion resistant, antitermite. Mainly applied to furniture, flooring, sculpture, arts and crafts,heavy structure, sports equipment, instruments, etc..
Guaiacum domestic generally used for beads, Buddha, stationery (such as pen, paper weight etc.) and furniture making, so we took the name as "green wingceltis". In China traditional furniture timber is not the wood,the wood is nearly ten years before entering china. Green wingceltis make objects.
Guaiacum broad-leaved tree explicit heartwood classes. Observed fromthe wood is diffuse porous wood structure. Side, there are significant differences in heartwood. Sapwood heartwood is narrow, pale yellow white, pale green, sometimes with black. Imported into the country towood, sapwood to heartwood is extremely obvious boundaries. If thewood into water, the difference of sapwood to heartwood is more prominent, the growth ring sore wood is not obvious, but the woodsurface are anisotropic ring round, this is not a growth ring, guaiac woodpulp line is very narrow, but the number is much, the naked eye is difficult to identify. Medullary ray in the string section, is arranged horizontally, and a slightly tilted ranks, and its thickness is about 5 - 8 cells.
The catheter sore wood small and round, are individually distributed,sparse but simple perforation. The catheter verawood no spiralthickening, and detailed observation, can often be found in a smallbordered pit. Containing brown contents a large number of cathetercavity and leaching of filling body, catheter in the radial section,elongated, central green line.
The wood rays sore wood in tangential section, gathered into a fence type ranks, forming transverse slender stems, narrow. The cell wallthickness of sore wood, with a narrow cavity, also assumes the circular.Guaiac wood wood parenchyma cells into wavy or zigzag. Green Tanbecause it contains fat composition, use sandpaper, caustic sodasolution washing, surface treatment before glue, corrosion resistance,insect resistance is extremely high, termites and insect pests can notresist the sea. Not tall trees, wood contains fat composition and self lubrication, wear small, so in the world as a mechanical wood, wood and other appliances, its application can not be replaced.
The special properties of guaiac wood:
1 guaiacum have special anti-corrosion properties of green wingceltis make ship guaiac so it can be used in ship building, one of the main reasons is that the anticorrosion performance excellent, the treecontains a variety of DNA polymer.
A lot of dip fill body containing catheter 2 guaiacum has excellent wear resistance guaiac wood in. 20 - 26% immersed filling body is a resinous substance, like grease, very sticky consistency. When in the water,easily emulsified emulsion in ship engineering, therefore, if the guaiac asstern bearing, bearing and shaft materials, the self lubrication is particularly strong, not for other wood.
3 guaiacum have better hardness value which is characteristic of lignum vitae, guaiacum extremely high hardness, especially the face, so it is beneficial to the manufacture of the shaft material, even in the sea, nor too lower hardness. Someone measured: guaiac in air, water,temperature is not the same time, the hardness change are also different with other species comparison, its hardness value has dropped a lot.
4 other guaiac, inclusion of more. The resinous inclusions most are soluble in solvents. After dissolution, reddish brown or dark brown,sometimes with slightly green, and aromatic. Around the inclusions in25% and can dissolve in acid, the extract as blue. Its composition is approximately: two hydrogen guaiac acid and dehydrogenation guaiac acid, methyl furan guaiac resin, guaiac wood alcohol, guaiac resin etc..Medical units using the extract, as a treatment for cough, the effect is very good.
