Phenolic compounds are especially found in the hardwood and the bark. [34] The most well-known wood phenolic constituents are stilbenes (e.g. pinosylvin), lignans (e.g. pinoresinol, conidendrin, plicatic acid, hydroxymatairesinol), norlignans (e.g. nyasol, puerosides A and B, hydroxysugiresinol, sequirin-C), tannins (e.g. gallic acid, ellagic acid), flavonoids (e.g. chrysin, taxifolin, catechin, genistein). Most of the phenolic compounds have fungicidal properties and protect the wood from fungal decay. [34] Together with the neolignans the phenolic compounds influence on the color of the wood. Resin acids and phenolic compounds are the main toxic contaminants present in the untreated effluents from pulping. [33] Polyphenolic compounds are one of the most abundant biomolecules produced by plants, such as flavonoids and tannins. Tannins are used in leather industry and have shown to exhibit different biological activities. [36] Flavonoids are very diverse, widely distributed in the plant kingdom and have numerous biological activities and roles. [34]

Pinless moisture meters are even easier to use. Just press the scanning plate against the wood’s surface, turn on the meter, and receive the reading. For wide-width solid flooring (3” or wider), there should be no more than a 2% difference in moisture content between properly acclimated wood flooring and subflooring materials.Photo: Left/above: Plainsawn wood is parallel to the trunk, revealing the annual rings as curves or ovals.

In buildings made of other materials, wood will still be found as a supporting material, especially in roof construction, in interior doors and their frames, and as exterior cladding. Most extractives can be categorized into three groups: aliphatic compounds, terpenes and phenolic compounds. [33] The latter are more water-soluble and usually are absent in the resin.
