The hard, amber-colored resin left after distilling off the volatile oil of turpentine; colophony.
To rub with rosin, as musicians rub the bow of a violin.
Solid resin obtained from pine trees, consisting essentially of abietic acid, a tricyclic carboxylic acid, and varwious isomers. Frequently used as a flux component, usually with additives. Also used as a component in tape adhesives, rendering contamination from them difficult to remove.
Resin from pine trees. In etching, it is used in varnish and grounds, in lithography, it is used to strengthen ink on the stone before etching.
A translucent amber-colored to almost black brittle friable resin that is obtained by chemical means from the oleoresin or deadwood of pine trees or from tall oil and used especially in making varnish, paper size, soap, and soldering flux and in rosining violin bows
Natural resin obtained from pine oleoresin after removal of the volatile fractions. Two general kinds of rosin are commercially available: gum rosin obtained from living trees, and wood rosin obtained from dead wood, such as stumps and knots. Tall oil rosin, a by-product of the paper industry, is a chemically similar material.
rub rosin onto; "rosin the violin bow"
The resinous material obtained from the various pine trees and containing principally abietic acid. Wood rosin is a type, which is obtained from the stumps or other dead wood, using steam distillation. Gum rosin is obtained from the sap, which exudes from the living tree.
A solid resin obtained from pine trees which, in a pure form and usually with additives, is frequently used as a flux.
The residue obtained by distilling of the turpentine from the gum of the southern pine or from pine stumps, or other resinous woods, by a steam and solvent process. It is an additive which is used as an internal sizing for paper.
Made from pine sap. Dissolved rosin in alcohol is used as stop-out varnish. Powdered rosin is used in aquatint.
Natural resin obtained as a solid residue from the distillation of crude turpentine from the sap of pine trees. Used as a mosaic binder in ancient Greece and Byzantine times.
Substance made from hardened tree sap, rubbed on the hair of a bow to help it grip the strings.
A natural resin from pine trees, used to size acidic paper.
Natural resin obtained from living pine trees or from dead tree stumps and knots.
The resinous material obtained by distilling turpentine and other volatile materials from the sap of pine trees. Also called " COLOPHONY."
A hard resin obtained from pine trees containing principally isomers of abietic acid; wood rosin is obtained from stump or dead wood, using steam distillation; gum rosin is obtained from the living treerosin is used in making varnish, soap, and solder flux.
The hard resin, amber to black in colour, left after the distillation of turpentine.
A gummy substance produced from pine tree resin and used as a drying agent in paints and varnishes.
Rosin, formerly called colophony or Greek pitch (Pix græca), is a solid form of resin obtained from pines and some other plants, mostly conifers, produced by heating fresh liquid resin to vaporise the volatile liquid terpene components. It is semi-transparent and varies in color from yellow to black. At room temperature it is brittle, but it melts at stove-top temperatures.
