Gum turpentine oil is a natural and complex liquid derived from the steam distillation of resin or gum obtained from various species of pine trees, primarily belonging to the Pinus genus. Its composition is notably intricate, comprising a range of terpenes, including pinene, camphene, and limonene, which contribute to its distinctive aroma.
Turpentine oil is produced from Pine Tree. The resins are collected, and then it is sent to a factory where it is melted. Further distillation and condensation yield turpentine oil.
Pine Tree -> Sap Collection -> Fresh resins -> Steam boiler to melt resins -> Distillation of resin -> Condensation of volatile compounds -> Turpentine Oil
Widely used in adhesive manufacturing, gum turpentine oil aids in dissolving and dispersing resins, enhancing the adhesive's formulation.
Found in paint thinners and brush cleaners, gum turpentine oil acts as a potent solvent, effectively removing paint, grease, and other substances from surfaces and tools.
Utilized in agriculture for the formulation of certain pesticides, gum turpentine oil leverages its natural origin and solvent properties for pest control.
