General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
The species is utilized as a timber and source of specialty hardwood in commercial forestry. In trade it is reported under local names such as embang (Sarawak, Malaysia) and emparang (Kalimantan, Indonesia). Products include sawn timber, flooring, furniture components, joinery, and internal moldings.
Industrial and craft applications:
Timber is used in light to medium construction, millwork, door and window frames, paneling, and interior joinery; it is suitable for veneer and plywood where moderate strength and good working properties are required.
Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
No documented non-medicinal food, beverage, or food-additive uses.
Colorants and tanning:
No documented use for dyes or tannins.
Wood and fiber:
Bast or leaf fiber utilization is not documented; wood is the primary material. The wood is classified as light hardwood with generally straight grain and medium-fine texture. Reported density is approximately 580 kg/m³ at 12% moisture content. Heartwood is pale brown to reddish and not clearly differentiated from sapwood.
Fragrance and cosmetics:
No documented fragrance, cosmetic, or essential-oil applications.
Properties relevant to use:
Moderate density and favorable working characteristics enable machining, planing, and finishing for furniture and joinery. The wood shows good nail- and screw-holding. It is rated moderately durable and moderately resistant to termites, with performance enhanced by proper drying and finishing.
Standards and regulation:
Commercial sawn timber is graded and traded under national timber classification and grading rules of Malaysia and Indonesia (e.g., Malaysian Grading Rules for Sawn Hardwood; Indonesian commercial grading standards), with moisture content and defect limits defined for export markets.
Sustainability and sourcing:
The species occurs in lowland rainforest across Borneo and Sumatra. It is classified as “Vulnerable” on the IUCN Red List (2019). In Sarawak, field surveys report its presence in logged-over forest and some protected areas; selective harvesting and appropriate silvicultural treatments are recommended to maintain stock and regeneration.
