dragon's blood (resin) (resin (organic material), organic material, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A transparent, resinous exudation, red in color, derived from several plants in 4 genera, having in common the primary red coloring component dracorubin. Dragon's blood is available as red sticks, cakes, or as a powder, and was traded as early as Roman times. It is used medicinally as an astringent, as a red colorant in medieval manuscript illuminations, to stain varnishes for violins, as a colorant for plaster, marble, and paints, and as a resist in photoengraving to protect zinc plates from acid. The red color is fugitive when exposed to light and air, but may be partially protected by a resin film layer.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 一種透明樹脂物質，來自四個屬的幾種植物，共同點為具有血竭紅素（dracorubin）為主要紅色色素成分。龍血之形式可為紅色棒狀、塊狀或粉末狀，早在古羅馬時代便有買賣交易。可作為醫療上的收斂劑、中世紀手抄本插圖中的紅色著色劑，可用以為小提琴上清漆，可作為石膏、大理石和漆料的著色劑，也可作為照相製版中保護鋅板的抗酸劑。龍血的紅色在暴露於光及空氣時會褪色，但加上樹脂薄膜層可於某種程度上保護其色澤。 |
