Rubberwood is a light-colored medium-density tropical hardwood obtained from the Pará rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), usually from trees grown in rubber plantations. [1] Rubberwood is commonly advertised as an " environmentally friendly " wood, as it makes use of plantation trees that have already served a useful function.
Hevea brasiliensis linamarase does act upon linamarin because it is a monoglucoside, while it does not for linustatin because it is a diglucoside - in fact, the production of lovastatin inhibits linamarase cleavage of linamarin. This allows intra-plant, post-synthesis transport of linustatin without risking premature cleavage.
Hevea is a genus of flowering plants in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, with about ten members.It is also one of many names used commercially for the wood of the most economically important rubber tree, H. brasiliensis.
The major commercial source of natural rubber latex is the Amazonian rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), [1] a member of the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae.Once native to Brazil, the species is now pan-tropical.
Three of the processes are performed in one step, using oil (oil-heat treatment), nitrogen (Reti wood) and steam (Le-Bois Perdure). [1] The Thermo wood process consists of drying, heat treatment and finally cooling/conditioning, and takes up to 72 hours. [4]
The fact that under certain circumstances a product made of rubberwood does not immediately suffer from the properties of rubberwood is at best circumstantial. The same goes for cardboard. A chair made from rubberwood can, under certain circumstances, serve the same purposes as a chair made from teak (such as for sitting on, in a particular room).
