Comments on use types:

Nyang oil serves as a varnish or lacquer for timber and in handicrafts, or as a sealant for boats. There is some industrial use for ink, paints and wax production, and in producing balsam oil as a perfume base. It is also used in traditional medicine to protect feet against the effects of working long hours in rice paddy water. Locally this oleoresin is mixed with sawdust from soft woods or rotten wood and used to produce torches known as Nabong. The oil can be mixed with latex from Ficus spp. to form a glue that traps insects and birds. High up in their branches, dipterocarp trees often shelter beehives, from which local people collect honey. As tapping rights are being removed, the timber is increasingly being used.
