Technical Document

Brief Overview

Gum rosin, also known simply as rosin, is a natural resin obtained from pine trees, primarily those belonging to the genus Pinus. This resin is derived from the sap or oleoresin of the pine tree, which is obtained by making incisions in the bark. The most common species used for gum rosin extraction include the slash pine (Pinus elliottii) and longleaf pine (Pinus palustris).

Manufacturing Process

Gum Rosin is produced from the crude pine resin collected from pine trees. The resin is subjected to distillation and the distillation process is carried out in large copper stills. The volatile liquid terpene components would separate from the mixture as it vaporizes at a temperature between 100 to 160°C, leaving behind fluid rosin as the distillate. This fluid rosin is collected and purified by passing it through straining wadding. The condensate left behind is called turpentine oil.
