GUM ARABIC, EXTRA QUALITY, DUST
A natural gum obtained from various Acacia species, supplied as powder or small pieces; it is soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol and most organic solvents. Gum Arabic has a high bonding power and is therefore used as an adhesive for paper and cardboard, as well as a stabilizing protective colloid for emulsions and dispersions and as a binder for water colours and gouaches.
