Description
Turpentine Oil 99% | Extra Pure Natural Solvent
Steam Distilled Turpentine Oil for Paint and Pharmaceutical Applications
Turpentine Oil (CAS No. 8006-64-2) is a naturally derived essential oil and solvent, obtained by steam distillation of the resin harvested from pine trees (Pinus species). This volatile, colorless liquid features a characteristic pine-like odor and is supplied in Extra Pure Grade with 99% purity.
Turpentine Oil has long been used in paint thinning, varnish production, and resin formulations, valued for its quick evaporation and solvency. In pharmaceuticals, it is used in liniments and topical formulations for its counter-irritant and aromatic properties when you purchase turpentine oil from reputable natural solvent suppliers.
In laboratories and industrial cleaning, Turpentine serves as a natural degreasing agent and volatile carrier solvent. It must be handled with care, stored in cool, well-ventilated areas, and kept away from heat, sparks, or open flame to maintain its natural solvent properties.
Paint and Varnish Manufacturing Applications of Pure Turpentine
The Extra Pure grade ensures optimal performance in artistic and industrial paint formulations, providing excellent thinning properties without compromising color integrity. Professional-grade turpentine oil delivers consistent viscosity control for specialized coating applications.
For paint and pharmaceutical applications, turpentine oil provides essential solvent properties in natural solvent formulations where traditional synthetic solvents may be unsuitable. The International Organization for Standardization maintains quality standards for turpentine oil in industrial applications.
Pharmaceutical and Aromatherapy Applications
The natural origin and counter-irritant properties make turpentine oil valuable in topical pharmaceutical preparations and aromatherapy applications. Proper formulation ensures therapeutic efficacy while maintaining safety standards.
