What should be the optimum temperature to dry out the resin when collected in semi solid form?
Hello,
Pinus roxburghii resin, also known as Chir Pine resin, is typically collected in semi-solid form. The optimal temperature for drying this resin can vary depending on factors like the desired moisture content and available drying equipment.
As a general guideline, it is recommended to dry Pinus roxburghii resin at a temperature range of 50 to 60 degrees Celsius (120-140°F). This temperature range is typically suitable for most types of resins, including Chir Pine resin.
To prevent damage to the resin, it's crucial to carry out the drying process gradually. A controlled and slow drying process ensures even drying and helps to maintain the resin's desired properties.
If possible, it's advisable to consult the manufacturer's guidelines or seek advice from an experienced professional to determine the best drying temperature and process for your specific Pinus roxburghii resin sample.
i have kept it in 45°C for 14 hrs but there was no significant changes is air drying a good technique in this rainy season
