Rosin refers to turpentine, which can be obtained from a variety of pine trees, especially swamp pine, Caribbean pine and loblolly pine in the southeastern United States, and can also be obtained from similar pine trees all over the world. Exports are cut in these trees to distill and extract high-viscosity secretions (hence the name gum). This volatile liquid is rosin water; The remaining hard resin is called rosin.
Although rosin is not satisfactory as a component of any varnish and pigment, it has always been used as a coating for varnishes and pigments because it is one of the cheapest raw materials. In addition, rosin has many other uses in the art field, such as bonding, sealing and other mechanical functions. Rosin is also called rosin and Greek asphalt.
