Gum turpentine oil is a complex, natural liquid that is created by steam distilling gum or resin from several types of pine trees, mostly Pinus species. Its complex makeup includes a variety of terpenes, such as limonene, camphene, and pinene, all of which add to its unique scent.
Pine trees are used to make turpentine oil. After the resins are gathered, they are shipped to a plant to be melted. Turpentine oil is produced by further distillation and condensation.
Pine Tree -> Sap Collection -> Fresh resins -> Steam boiler to melt resins -> Distillation of resin -> Condensation of volatile compounds -> Turpentine Oil
Gum turpentine oil is a common ingredient in adhesive manufacture; it helps dissolve and disperse resins, improving the adhesive's composition.
Gum turpentine oil, which may be found in paint thinners and brush cleaners, is a strong solvent that can be used to remove paint, grease, and other materials off surfaces and instruments.
Gum turpentine oil uses its natural origin and solvent qualities to manage pests; it is used in agriculture to formulate certain insecticides.
