Particleboard made from <i>(a) spruce <i>(Picea abies), <i>(b) pine <i>(Pinus sylvestris) and <i>(c) beech <i>(fagus sylvatica) barks, using PF, UF and isocyanate binders, were exposed to termite <i>(Heterotermes indicola and <i>Reticulitermes flavipes) attack. In selective feeding tests, <i>H. indicola caused mass losses of more than 80% of the PF and UF boards; isocyanate boards of <i>(a) and <i>(c) proved more resistant (50-70%). R. <i>flavipes produced mass losses of up to: 40% in PF boards; 60% in UF boards; and 30% in isocyanate boards. -- AATA
