In the firsts 24 h of immersion in water the CPC 1 absorbed
0.59 ± 0.06 wt.% of water while the CPC 3 containing 2 wt.% of suberin
only absorbs 0.40 ± 0.02 wt.%. This difference is more evident
after the 7 days of immersion were the CPC 3 absorbs less 32.5%
of water comparing with the condition of the CPC 1 and less
