Average chemical retention, weight loss and ratings for wafers treated in the termite test
Sample | Chemical retention, kg/m3 | Weight loss, % | Rating |
MeOH | - | 29.7 ± 3.6 | 3.8 ± 0.5 |
Catechin | 26.0 ± 5.2 | 16.1 ± 2.1 | 7.1 ± 0.2 |
MeOH extract | 26.7 ± 4.5 | 22.6 ± 5.1 | 7.0 ± 0.0 |
CPCs | 27.1 ± 3.6 | 20.1 ± 3.3 | 6.9 ± 0.2 |
PPCs | 26.1 ± 4.3 | 18.0 ± 1.5 | 7.0 ± 0.0 |
LMWPCs | 25.4 ± 3.8 | 13.8 ± 1.6 | 6.8 ± 0.3 |
Ratings are based on AWPA standard E1, where a 10 is no attack, 9 is a trace to 3% damage, down to 0 which is failure. Chemical treatment: 6% (w/w).
