Technical Data

Before synthetic adhesives were discovered, gum arabic was used as an adhesive, for example for postage stamps. The adhesive strip on envelopes also often consists of gum arabic. It is also used as a medium in poster paint (gouache) – where it increases the gloss of the paint, which is very dull on its own – and as a binder in watercolour paint, where it is typically absorbed completely by the watercolour paper, so that no brittle paint film is formed and the pigment grains can colour the paper directly. Other applications: in foodstuffs, cosmetics and photography.
