balsam (resin) (resin (organic material), organic material, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: An oleoresinous exudate from coniferous trees, especially of the Pinus genus. Balsams have been used since antiquity for medicinal purposes and as sealers. The exudate is a soft, semi-liquid consisting of terpenes of resinous character and a large amount of essential oils. Upon distillation, a liquid portion, called turpentine, and a solid residue, called rosin, are produced. Balsams have been used in varnishes and paint mediums; however, they deteriorate easily unless a harder resin is mixed with them. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Chinese (traditional) ..... 取自針葉喬木的油性樹脂分泌物,尤其是來自松屬植物者。香脂在中世紀前已被使用於醫療上,以及作為封緘物質。此分泌物為軟質、半液態,成分為具樹脂特性的萜烯,以及大量的植物精油;藉由蒸餾,可分製出稱為「松節油」的液態部分以及稱為「松香」的固體殘餘物。香脂可用於製作清漆與繪畫用媒材,然而若未與較硬的樹脂混合,則容易腐壞。 |
