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).
