TINCAL, crude [borax].
TINCTORIAL MATTER. One of the most curious and valuable facts ascertained upon this subject, is, that madder kept in casks, in a warm place, undergoes a species of fermentation, which, by ripening or rather deoxidizing the colouring-matter, increases its dyeing power by no less than from 20 to 50 per cent. See M. H. Schlumberger’s memoir read to the Société Industrielle de Mulhausen, 24 November, 1837.
TINCTURE is a title used by apothecaries to designate alcohol, in a somewhat dilute state, impregnated with the active principles of either vegetable or animal substances.
