Gum Rosin (breu) is derived from the tapping of living pine trees. Distillation of the crude pine resin yields gum rosin and gum turpentine in varying ratios, usually 4 to1. Gum Rosin is a brittle, transparent, glassy solid. It is insoluble in water but soluble in many organic solvents. WW grade is derivative of “Pinus Ellioti”.
