Composition

The leaves of L. styraciflua contain tannin and small quantities of a volatile oil. The main constituents of storax include styracin, cinnamic acid and its esters, vanillin, styrene and probably styrocamphene. In styrax gummi, the contents of free and hydrolytic cinnamic acid were 7.03 and 25.26%, respectively; and in its original plant L. orientalis, they were 0.3% evenly

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

STYRAX ESSENCE OLIFFAC may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. May react exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators, can undergo exothermic addition polymerization.
