General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
Timber for heavy construction, exterior joinery, utility poles, and flooring; specialty lumber for turnery and carving. No non-timber products (e.g., gums, fiber, seed oil) are documented for this taxon.
Industrial and craft applications:
Timber: heavy-duty carpentry and joinery; utility poles; bridge and pier structures; flooring and decking; specialty uses in turnery and carving. The species is classified as suitable for industrial lumber in the standard reference for Amazonian timbers.
Wood and fiber:
Wood density typically 950–1,100 kg/m³ at 12% moisture, with air-dry values frequently ≥1,000 kg/m³. Janka hardness commonly ~11–13 kN and modulus of rupture in the range of 115–150 MPa. The wood is rated durable to very durable by standard resistance tests for decay and termites. Air-drying is slow and shrinkage is moderate; machining and finishing are rated good to very good. These properties collectively support load-bearing applications and precision joinery.
Fragrance and cosmetics:
No documented uses.
Properties relevant to use:
High specific gravity and mechanical strength; strong natural resistance to wood-destroying organisms; low moisture movement; good workability and finishing characteristics. These attributes enable structural timber uses and durable exterior applications without chemical treatment.
Sustainability and sourcing:
Timber is harvested from natural forests in Brazil (Amazonas) and adjacent regions. In the standard reference, it is categorized as “very abundant” in Western Amazonia and not considered at risk of imminent overexploitation under present volumes; no quantitative scarcity or sustainability certifications are documented for this species.
