German term

Rauchharz

German to English Science Science (general) cleaning products
Hi again,

This is a cleaning product "gegen Rauchharz". I googled it and got "smoke resin", but most of these hits are either translations of German sites or instructions for cleaning your drug paraphernalia.... ;-)

Anyone know?
Proposed translations (English)
2 +3 carbon grease build up???
4 resinous soot
4 burnt-on deposits
3 +1 creosote
3 smoke residue
2 soot
1 +1 tar deposits

Hilary Davies Shelby (asker) Sep 28, 2005:
@ Michele - that is exactly what I was wondering (it makes sense to me!) but I'm not an expert - maybe someone more chemically-minded could help us out?
Michele Fauble Sep 28, 2005:
Could it be that the grease and grime that is carried by the smoke gets burnt-on and becomes "resinous", and that this is what is meant by 'Rauchharz'?
David Hollywood Sep 27, 2005:
I agree and would say that "smoke residue" is one "way out" here although there do appear to be plausible references for "smoke resin" too
Samira Goth Sep 27, 2005:
If they mean the residue of smoke (like in old pipes or candle holders), I'd say smoke resin it is. Because that can be very difficult to remove.

carbon grease build up???

Just an idea - maybe they are referring to the carbon grease that builds up on ovens etc.

soot

isn't that what they mean? :-)
Peer comment(s):
neutral Samira Goth : soot is easy to remove with conventional cleaners, Rauchharz is the brown stuff that is sort of baked to the surface

maybe it's just really resistant soot! :-) I get your point, but I wonder whether there is actually a specific term for this in English. ...tar, (tobacco tar), resinous soot, smoke residue... ?

smoke residue

This is essentially Samira's suggestion. If there's any doubt about 'smoke resin' as a valid term this would solve the problem.

resinous soot

A sort of sticky mixture of incompletely burnt carbon-based materials that firmly adheres to anything it comes into contact with

tar deposits

Just an alternative thought - my immediate impression was that this was to do with the deposits left as a result of smoking (tobacco, etc.) No way of knowing without any further context, but just thought I'd throw it into the melting pot!
Peer comment(s):
agree Jeremy Amos : I think you might be onto something! British smoke certainly contains tar, not resin. I'd have said resin is non-volatile. But don't quote me on it.
