storax (resin) (resin (organic material), organic material, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A brown, sticky, aromatic resin obtained from trees of the genus Liquidambar, including L. orientalis, native to Turkey. A white solid powder that forms in the steam distillate obtained from storax is polystyrene. Storax resin is sometimes used as a mounting media for microscope slides. For the a brown, aromatic resin obtained from the genus Styrax, use "benzoin." Resins from both Sytrax and Liquidambar trees were formerly called "storax," but "storax" is no longer used for resin of genus Styrax.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Een bruin, kleverig, aromatisch hars dat wordt verkregen uit bomen van het genus Liquidambar, waaronder de L. orientalis uit Turkije. In het stoomdistillaat van storax wordt het witte vaste poeder polystyreen gevormd. Storaxhars wordt soms gebruikt voor het bevestigen van microscoopglaasjes. Gebruik 'benzoë' voor een bruine, aromatische hars die wordt verkregen uit het geslacht Styrax. Vroeger werden de harsen van zowel de Styrax als de Liquidambar 'storax' genoemd, maar inmiddels wordt 'storax' niet meer gebruikt voor hars van het geslacht Styrax. |
