Gums and Resins

Gum Arabic

Gum arabic is one of the basic materials used in the gum bichromate process. It acts as a binder for the pigment and, when mixed with pigment and a light-sensitive component, forms the coating applied to the paper.

In this category you will find gum arabic both in powder form and as a ready-made solution.

Powdered gum arabic is a good choice for users who want to prepare the solution themselves and control its concentration. It is also convenient to store and allows you to make only the amount of solution you currently need.

Ready-made gum arabic solution is more convenient to use, as it does not require prior dissolving and can be used directly to prepare the gum bichromate coating mixture.

The choice between powder and ready-made solution depends mainly on your workflow: powder gives you more control over preparation, while ready-made gum saves time and simplifies the process.
