Gum turpentine oil is a natural liquid extracted through the steam distillation of resin obtained from various pine tree species, primarily belonging to the Pinus genus. This unrefined oil possesses a complex and diverse composition, featuring a spectrum of terpenes, including pinene, camphene, and limonene.
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 dissolves and disperses resins, enhancing adhesive properties.
Found in paint thinners and brush cleaners, gum turpentine oil is a potent solvent for removing paint, grease, and substances from surfaces and tools.
Utilized in agriculture for pesticide formulation, leveraging natural origin and solvent properties for pest control.
