This contact area amounts to a total of more than 1.2 x 109 km2 and thus exceeds the surface area of the continents by a factor of 8.

Its matrix consists of the amorphous polymer cutin formed by cross-linked hydroxyalkanoic acids (19). This matrix supports intra- and epicuticular deposits of cuticular waxes.
