Turpentine is a liquid with a strong odor and bitter taste that is immiscible with water. Of vegetable origin, it is obtained through the continuous distillation of Pinus elliottii oleoresin. It is a mixture of terpene hydrocarbons, also known as gum turpentine. Turpentine is soluble in aromatic and aliphatic solvents, alcohols, esters, and ketones.
Turpentine can be used as a solvent in the paint industry, as a raw material in perfumery, and in the manufacture of polyterpene resins and synthetic camphor. Due to its bactericidal properties, it can also be used in the production of pine oil, which can subsequently be used to manufacture detergents and disinfectants. (CAS: 8006-64-2)
