RESINS

Used for varnishes and in mediums. The resin can be dissolved in Turpentine. The crystals will take a couple days to dissolve. Our damar is harvested by hand in Sumatra, Indonesia, where deforestation and political unrest have diminished supplies.

Gum Arabic is a dried exudate obtained from the stems and branches of Acacia senegal (L.) Willdenow or closely related species of Acacia (fam. Leguminosae). It is used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener. One gram dissolves in 2 ml of water forming a solution which flows readily and is acid to litmus, insoluble in ethanol .

Used mostly in varnishes for oil paintings. Dissolve 100 g in 300 ml pure gum turpentine.

The name “elemi” is in the ordinary way practically restricted to the somewhat soft aromatic oleo resinous body collected in the Philippine Islands from one or more species of Canarium, principally Canarium luzonicum

Colophony resin, residue of turpentine destillation.

Benzoin is a natural resin. Gum Benzoin Sumatra, reddish brown.

Natural resin of the European pine

Used as an incense.

Paraloid B-72 is a durable and non-yellowing acrylic polymer used for consolidating wall paintings (1-5%), fragile wood (5- 20%), etc. It may be used as a fixative when diluted with a solvent to secure markings on artifacts and as an adhesive (50%+) for a variety of substrates. Paraloid B-72 is soluble in acetone, toluene and isopropanol.

Paraloid B-72 is an excellent general purpose acrylic resin. It can be applied in either clear or pigmented coatings by a variety of application methods.

Paraloid B-44 solid grade acrylic resin provides an outstanding combination of hardness, flexibility, and adhesion to various substrates. It also permits wider latitude in formulating in solvents that are suitable for specific applications.

water-soluble synthetic resin, medium viscosity

A 100% solids, medium molecular weight, polyvinyl acetate homopolymer supplied as a colorless transparent pellet. Mowilith 50 is recommended for use by archaeologists working on digs as a consolidant for prehistoric bones and other artifacts.

A pale, yellowing-resistant aldehyde resin, which is soluble in almost all paint solvents, and is compatible with practically all coating raw materials. Its main uses are combination with other resin binders and the production of allpurpose pigment pastes.

A thermoplastic resin based on polyvinyl acetate homopolymers used for the production of paints, varnishes, sizes, etc. Soluble in alcohols, esters, ketones, toluene and chlorinated hydrocarbons, and is particularly suitable for the consolidation and heat-sizing of archaeological finds and ceramics.

a strong anion exchange resin with fine particle size, suitable for conservative restoration. Anionic resin is used for the desulphating chemical cleaning treatment of carbonate stone surfaces (marbles, stones, ...), plasters and frescoes.

a strong cation exchange resin with fine particle size, suitable for conservative restoration. Used to remove inorganic soil (incrustations, whitewashes, etc) from surfaces which are acid resistant (terracotta tiles, grès, concrete, non calcareous stones).
