Terpentin

Turpentine is a liquid derived from the resin (sap) of coniferous trees, especially pine trees. It is a natural product and has been used for many hundreds of years, particularly in painting and for various industrial purposes.

What is turpentine?

Turpentine is a solvent primarily made up of a mixture of terpenes, which are organic compounds naturally found in trees. It has a sharp odor and is colorless or slightly yellowish. Turpentine is traditionally used to dilute oil-based paints and clean brushes, but it has also found applications in other areas such as the perfume industry, medicine, and even as a natural disinfectant.

Uses:

• Painting and art: Turpentine is often used to dilute oil paints, making them easier to work with. It is also used to clean brushes and painting tools.

• Cleaning: It can be used to remove sticky substances such as resin or wax and clean surfaces.

• Industrial: In some industrial processes, turpentine is used as a solvent for fats and oils.

• Medicine: In small amounts and under supervision, turpentine has historically been used as part of folk remedies, but it can be toxic, so it must be used with caution.

Safety:

Turpentine is flammable, and inhaling its vapors can be harmful. It is important to use it in well-ventilated areas and follow safety precautions, such as storing it away from heat sources and open flames.

Turpentine is a versatile solvent that comes from nature and is primarily used in painting but also in several other industries.

 

Turpentine can be supplied in bulk, IBC, drums, and cans.
