Turpentine Oil
Product Description
Turpentine (also called spirit of turpentine, oil of turpentine, and wood turpentine) is a
fluid obtained by the distillation of resin obtained from live trees, mainly pines. It is
composed of terpenes, mainly the monoterpenes alpha-pinene and beta-pinene with lesser
amounts of carene, camphene, dipentene, and terpinolene. It is sometimes colloquially known as turps.
Suggested Application
Turpentine is used in solvent and as a source of materials for organic synthesis.
As a solvent, turpentine is used for thinning oil-based paints, for producing varnishes,
and as a raw material for the chemical industry. Its industrial use as a solvent in
industrialized nations has largely been replaced by the much cheaper turpentine substitutes
distilled from crude oil.
Turpentine is used in a source of raw materials in the synthesis of fragrant chemical
compounds. Commercially used camphor, linalool, alpha-terpineol, and geraniol are all
usually produced from alpha-pinene and beta-pinene, which are two of the chief chemical
components of turpentine. These pinenes are separated and purified by distillation.
The mixture of diterpenes and triterpenes that is left as residue after turpentine
distillation is sold as rosin.
Turpentine is used in medicinal elixir
Turpentine is also added to many cleaning and sanitary products due to its antiseptic properties and its "clean scent".
