Rosin Q & A
(Questions and Answers)
Question:
What is Scalding Rosin?
Answer:
Scalding Rosin is powdered natural rosin used in pig scalding process. Sprinkle
the powdered rosin over the hair before pulling the hair our by scrapers. Rosin
gives a good grip to the hair so that it can be removed easily. Both the
Chinese
rosin and
Brazilian rosin can be used as the scalding rosin; however, you must grind
them as good as you can before use. Adding some hydrated lime to the scalding
water also helps to loosen the hair and make it easy to remove. For best results
the lime is added to the scalding water from the beginning, but the powdered
rosin is sprinkled over the skin before scraping.

Question:
What is the solvent for rosin?
Answer:
Rosin dissolves in high purity alcohols. Methanol or methyl alcohol (wood
alcohol) is a commonly used solvent for rosin. If the solvent contains water, it
does not easily dissolve rosin. For example rosin does not easily dissolve in
70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
