The Storax is also known as Asiatic styrax. Its EINECS registry number is 232-458-4. With the CAS registry number 8046-19-3, its classification code is TSCA UVCB. Storax is the resinous exudate of the Sweetgum (Liquidambar orientalis), occasionally used in incense or as an aromatic fixative in perfumery.
