African tropical wood of Iroko

IROKO ('IROKO)

In the green state or without light the core of yellow, but under the action of light is rapidly gaining Golden-brownish color. Sapwood narrow, with a width of 50 - 75 mm, clearly distinguished. Fiber is usually confusing-svilevatyh. Texture is coarse but even. Sometimes the recesses and grooves, which is likely to be the result of mechanical damage tree, there are deposits of calcium carbonate, called "stones". Often such deposits are covered by the wood and become invisible to the cutting although wood around them can be darker, indicating the presence of the sediments. Wood is characterized by excellent mechanical properties comparable to teak, though inferior to him in strength in bending and compression along the fibers. Very resistant breed. Wood chlorophora high good handled most tools, though strongly stopset their cutting edges, especially in the presence of scale deposits. Because when svilevatosti treatment of radial incisions possible scuffing of the fibers.
Iroko is resistant to changes in microclimate, to various pests of wood. It is often used as a substitute for teak for furniture manufacturing and in parquet floors. Before coating and polyurethane varnish application must primers, eliminating the "ignition" of wood.
The wood dries well and quickly without any problems. There is a small trend to splitting and geometry changes. The coefficients of shrinkage: 2,8% radial; 3,8% tangential; 8.8% of the volume.
