rosin
Conifer-derived friction cake
Rosin is a solid resin derived from pine trees, used to increase friction or grip.
Musicians rub rosin on bow strings to help them catch and vibrate the strings of violins, cellos, and similar instruments: She rosined her bow before the performance.
Dancers and athletes apply rosin to hands or shoes for better traction.
Rosin also appears in soldering flux and adhesives.
