چکیده
Colophonium (rosin, CAS no. 8050-09-7) is a complex mixture of >100 different compounds derived from pine trees.

Because of these properties, colophonium is used in various products, such as soldering fluxes, paper, cosmetics (depilatory waxes, soaps, hair gel, and nail polish), cutting fluids, insulation materials, and adhesives such as medical adhesives.
