The biocidal properties of biocidal natural building materials are inherent to the material, rather than being supplemented afterwards. This makes that the material is long lasting and inexpensive, as no additional processing needs to be done. == Examples == core wood soaked with plant saps: e.g. core wood soaked with the biocidal plant saps from Pinus canariensis (natural durability: 150 years) several tropical (hard)wood species resins and plant juices as latex have (fairly) long durability due to protective proteins == References == - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 05 - Building Materials]] - [[Building Construction/Construction & Materials/Building Material]] - [[Wiki-Architecture/Building Materials]] - [[Building Construction/Construction & Materials/Building Material/Natural Stone]] - [[Building Construction/Construction & Materials/Building Material/Insulation Materials]] - [[Building Construction/Construction & Materials]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design/Section 7B - Systems Building]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 08 - Building Services]] - [[Building Services/Building Performance/Building Envelope]] - [[Interior Architecture/Renovation and Conservation/Building Assessment]]
