We are offering turpentine oil.
Our client can avail from us turpentine of pharma grades at industry leading price. Our range of turpentine oil is appreciated for its antiseptic and disinfectant properties. These are widely used as raw material across the chemical industry. The oil is available in various packaging and amounts.
turpentine (also called spirit of turpentine, oil of turpentine, and wood turpentine) is a fluid obtained by the distillation of resin obtained from live trees, mainly pines. 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. The word turpentine derives (via french and latin) from the greek word τερεβινθνη terebinthine, the name of a species of tree, the terebinth tree. Mineral turpentine or other petroleum distillates are used to replace turpentine, but they are very different chemically.
industrial and other end uses
solvent: the two primary uses of turpentine in industry are as a solvent and as a source of materials for organic synthesis. As a solvent, turpentine is used for thinning oil-based paints, for producing varnishes, and as a raw material for the chemical industry. turpentine has long been used as a solvent, mixed with beeswax or with carnauba wax, to make fine furniture wax for use as a protective coating over oiled wood finishes (e.g., lemon oil).
source of organic compounds
turpentine is also used as a source of raw materials in the synthesis of fragrant chemical compounds. Commercially used camphor, linalool, alpha-terpineol, and geraniol are all usually produced from alpha-pinene and beta-pinene, which are two of the chief chemical components of turpentine. These pinenes are separated and purified by distillation. The mixture of diterpenes and triterpenes that is left as residue after turpentine distillation is sold as rosin.
medicinal elixir
turpentine and petroleum distillates such as coal oil and kerosene have been used medicinally since ancient times, as topical and sometimes internal home remedies. Topically it has been used for abrasions and wounds, as a treatment for lice, and when mixed with animal fat it has been used as a chest rub, or inhaler for nasal and throat ailments. Many modern chest rubs, such as the vicks variety, still contain turpentine in their formulations. Taken internally it was used as treatment for intestinal parasites because of its alleged antiseptic and diuretic properties, and a general cure-all as in hamlin's wizard oil. Sugar, molasses or honey were sometimes used to mask the taste. Internal administration of these toxic products is no longer common today. Turpentine was a common medicine among seamen during the age of discovery, and one of several products carried aboard ferdinand magellan's fleet in his first circumnavigation of the globe.
niche uses
turpentine is also added to many cleaning and sanitary products due to its antiseptic properties and its "clean scent". In early 19th-century america, turpentine was sometimes burned in lamps as a cheap alternative to whale oil. It was most commonly used for outdoor lighting, due to its strong odor. A blend of ethanol and turpentine added as an illuminant called burning fluid was also important for several decades. In 1946, soichiro honda used turpentine as a fuel for the first honda motorcycles as gasoline was almost totally unavailable following world war ii. Turpentine was a common additive in cheap until the 20th century and gave it its characteristic juniper berry flavor without the need for pricier distillations with aromatic spices and berries.
