Alder bark

The filler is usually "furafil," (a ligno-cellulose by-product of furfural production of Quaker Oats Company), Douglas fir or alder bark, wood particleboard sander dust and/or attapulgite clay. A sulfite paper mill lignin is also used as a filler in the Northwest. Between 50,000 and 60,000 tons of filler were used in phenolic glue mixes per year. 

Douglas fir bark is a ligno-cellulosic material, too, containing up to 20 percent cork, 20 percent amorphous tannin powders and 5 percent vegetable wax (carnauba type). As previously mentioned, the wax is extracted before use as an extender. The balance is dried and ground into powder form similar to particle size of furafil before use as an extender. Alder bark is dried and ground directly without further treatment and used as a filler. 

Serenoa with Oregon grape root, alder bark, and chaste tree has shown clinical activity in helping to control and alleviate this disfiguring condition. Long-term use has led to reduced formation of cysts and the resultant scarring.

Two new pseudotabersonine-related alkaloids were isolated by Husson et al. from the stem bark of T. albiflora from French Guiana (29) and characterized as (20/ )-18,19-dihydroxypseudovincadifformine (166, C2iH26N204, MP 190°C, [a]D +264°) and 19-hydroxy-20-epipandoline (167, C21H26N204, MP 204°C, [a]D +511°. Both compounds exhibited similar UV maxima attributed to a (3-anilinoacrylic chromophore, and their mass spectra showed, in addition to a molecular ion at m/z 370, a base peak at m/z 156 formed by retro-Diels-Alder fragmentation in ring C, followed by C-6—C-5 bond cleavage. 

Hayek et al. (1990) reported the identification of 14 samples of birch bark tar of Chalcolithic to Early Iron Age date from sites in Austria and Denmark. In this study, authentic tars from bark samples of a number of different species (e.g., birch, oak, alder, hazel, elm and so on) were produced under laboratory conditions (using Kugelrohr distillation) and compared with the aged samples... 

Primary irritant dermatitis caused by wood contact consists of erythema and blistering, which may be accompanied by erosions and secondary infections. Irritant chemicals typically are found in the bark or the sap of the outer part of the tree. Therefore, loggers and persons involved in initial wood processing are most affected. In most reports of contact dermatitis, hardwoods of tropical origin have been implicated, although other woods, including pine, spruce, western red cedar, elm, and alder, have been cited.

About seventy kinds of new phenolic compounds could be isolated from Japanese cultivated mulberry tree (Morus alba, M. bombycis, and M, Ihou) and Chinese crude drug Sang-Bai-Pi (the root bark of Chinese mulberry tree). Most of them are isoprenylated flavonoids. Among them, kuwanon G (1) was the first isolation of the active substance exhibiting the hypotensive effect from the Japanese Morus alba root bark [9]. Furthermore, kuwanon G (1) and its isoprenylated derivative kuwanon H (2) [10] are considered to be formed through an enzymatic Diels-Alder type reaction of a chalcone and a dehydrokuwanon C or its... 

It is very important to select a suitable type of wood for the manufacture of the charcoal used in blackpowder. It must be soft, but not resinous and should be prepared from white wood of such trees as alder, poplar, willow, hazel etc. Before carbonization the wood must be de-barked and cut into pieces 10-30 mm thick. In some countries where hemp is plentiful the stems of this plant are used for making charcoal.
