Lime motor has been used for centuries to protect wood from termites the lime will stay extremely corrosive for hundreds of years. The lime reacts with the outer layer of wood and forms a form of limestone that the termites do not like to eat through.

Best would be to do an onsite test with some sensors within the sample wall as the local conditions are hard to replicate in a lab.

The issue with metal framing is that the lime will react with it.

The lime should protect the wood very well even in a tropical env as long as you fully envelop it.
