Teak Wood and Shell so Medication Mosquito Fuel

Teak wood is scientifically known by the name of Tectona grandis is a kind of high-quality wood used for furniture. This timber can reach 30-40 meters.

Coconut Shell already known to us from ancient times. Coconut shells are also widely used as an engraving in Indonesia. Its loud and easily carved coconut shell carving much loved person.

This time we did not go into detail about the plants on his relationship with carving or furniture.

Did you know that teak wood shavings and coconut shells are used as raw material for the manufacture of mosquito coils?

It can be said almost 70% of the raw material of mosquito coils of the two ingredients above.

 

Very simple way of processing, where teak wood shavings and ground coconut shells with a milling machine and then sieved through a sieve with a mesh 80. The result of this sieve will be very smooth and has shaped flour.

Teak wood flour and coconut shell powder is used as a medium for insecticide 

and perfume  to be used in mosquito coils. Both flour is suitable for mosquito coils because it is flammable.

Teak wood flour is used to make sure coils still burning while coconut flour serves to smooth and keep the burning mosquito coils are not too fast.

As the development of mosquito coil factory in Indonesia, needs teak wood flour and flour coconut shell more and more. This resulted in teak wood flour was scarce. In the development of other wood shavings finally mixed with teak. Even some that do not contain any wood teak wood at all. Other types of wood used for the manufacture of mosquito coils are:

1. Meranti wood
2. Wood Resin sea
3. Wood Bengkirai
4. Mahogany
5. Durian Wood
6. Wood Ulin
7. Pine wood
8. etc.

Even more difficult is the coconut shell flour. Coconut shell today many

used in addition to wood, also made use of activated charcoal is now very widespread.

This causes the mosquito coil manufacturers increasingly difficult to find the source of the material.

In the development of the use of coconut shells have also begun derived using coconut shells and hazelnut oil. However, its use can not be much because in addition to the source is slightly more difficult processing.

We have already started to develop the use of rice husk, wood also with smoothness resembling shells as Ulin wood.
