Depending on the context, mastic goes by several alternative names. Natural botanical mastic is frequently referred to as "tears of Chios" due to the teardrop shape formed when the resin exudes from the bark of the Chios mastic tree, and it is also called Arabic gum in certain regional contexts. In the construction and building trades, synthetic adhesive mastic is commonly called tile adhesive, ceramic glue, wall mastic, or organic adhesive paste, distinguishing it clearly from natural resin products.
