Description
Benzoin is a pathological product produced when certain tree trunks are injured. It is produced by incising the bark and collecting the exuded resin after it hardens on exposure to air and light. Benzoin is an ancient drug that has had more different Latin titles and synonyms since its origin in the 15th or 16th century than any other official preparation. McKesson™ Compound Benzoin Tincture is an alcohol solution of compound benzoin that may be used to increase adhesion.
