Gutta-percha \Gut"ta-per`cha\, n. [Malay gutah gum + pertja the
tree from which is it procured.]
A concrete juice produced by various trees found in the
Malayan archipelago, especially by the {Isonandra, or
Dichopsis, Gutta}. It becomes soft, and unpressible at the
tamperature of boiling water, and, on cooling, retains its
new shape. It dissolves in oils and ethers, but not in water.
In many of its properties it resembles caoutchouc, and it is
extensively used for many economical purposes. The {Mimusops
globosa} of Guiana also yields this material.
