Gum Turpentine

EP

Turpentine can be divided into gum turpentine, wood turpentine and sulphate turpentine in the light of sources of raw materials. Gum turpentine is extracted from pine resin by distillation.

Turpentine is colorless to pale yellow oily liquid containing various terpenes. The presence of double bonds and rings in the terpenes enables multiple reactions.

It is composed of terpenes, mainly the monoterpenes alpha-pinene and beta-pinene with lesser amounts of carene, camphene, dipentene, and terpinolene. It is sometimes colloquially known as turps.

It can be used in solvent and as a source of materials for organic synthesis, or as a source of raw materials in the synthesis of fragrant chemical compounds. It also can be used in medicinal elixir and cleaning products.

Application & Uses

  • used as a solvent for thinning oil-based paints and for producing varnishes. Its industrial use as a solvent in industrialized nations has largely been replaced by the much cheaper turpentine substitutes distilled from crude oil. It is also the ingredient of natural plant solvent.
  • used as raw materials in the synthesis of fragrant chemical compounds, such as synthetic camphor, sandalwood, camphor, linalool, alpha-terpineol, and geraniol, which are all produced from multiple reactions of terpenes existed in turpentine.
  • used in the pharmaceutical industry, such as cough medicine
  • used as an ingredient of many cleaning and sanitary products owing to its antiseptic properties and its “clean scent”
  • used as a cosolvent in SMT manufacturing industry
  • used as raw material for manufacturing plasticizer and lubricant
