Density (dry weight) = 23-30 lbs/cu. ft.
Shrinkage, Tangential = very small
Weight = light
Toughness-Hammer drop (Impact Strength) = very low
Surfaces may dent or scratch easily
Surfaces may dent easily
Shrinkage, Volumetric = small
Shrinkage, Tangential = small
Max. crushing strength = low
Hardness (side grain) = very soft
Compression strength (parallel to grain) = low
Bending strength (MOR) = low
Bending strength of the species in the air-dry condition (about 12 percent moisture content) is considered low - much lower than Teak, for example. Maximum crushing strength, or compression strength parallel to grain, is low. It is weaker than Mahogany or Teak. The wood is soft, and surfaces may dent easily. It also does not wear well, and mars easily. The wood is light in weight. The density is average, or medium
