Product Information:
Turpentine oil is a clear, flammable liquid, with a pungent odour and bitter taste. It is immiscible with water and has a boiling point above 150°C.
It is a mixture of organic compounds, mainly terpenes, and its composition can vary considerably (more so than rosin) according to the species of pine from which it was derived.However, like rosin it is a very versatile material chemical and nowadays,.
it is used mostly after further processing. It usually undergoes fractional distillation to isolate the desirable chemicals (mainly alpha-pinene and beta-pinene) which are then transformed into value-added derivatives.

Turpentine oil uses and applications:
- Turpentine oil is used in whole form, usually as a solvent for paints and varnishes or as a cleaning agent.
- its derivatives are widely used in fragrance, flavor, vitamin and polyterpene resin manufacture, and form the basis of a substantial and growing chemical industry.
- The biggest single turpentine oil derivative, synthetic pine oil, is used in disinfectants, cleaning agents and other products with a ‘pine’ odor.
- Many derivatives, including isobornyl acetate, camphor, linalool, citral, citronellol, citronellal and menthol are used either on their own or in the elaboration of other fragrance and flavor compounds.
- A few of the minor constituents of turpentine oil, such as anethole, are employed for fragrance or flavor use without the need for chemical modification.
