Turpentine

Turpentine (CAS 9005-90-7), also known commercially as Skipidar and pine gum, is a natural oleoresin-derived solvent distilled from pine trees. It functions primarily as a solvent and diluent across coatings, adhesives, and rubber processing industries.

In architectural and industrial coatings, this material thins oil-based paints, varnishes, and alkyd formulations, improving brushability and penetration into substrates. It is a preferred choice where petroleum-based alternatives are increasingly scrutinized.

Adhesive and sealant manufacturers use it as a carrier solvent to control viscosity and open time in natural resin-based systems. In rubber compounding, it acts as a processing aid and dispersant for blending resins and fillers into elastomer matrices.

Printing ink producers incorporate it into oil-based ink formulations where controlled drying and flow properties are required. This versatility makes it a staple in chemical manufacturing and specialized industrial applications worldwide.

The product is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid, typically in drum and IBC quantities for industrial buyers. Gum turpentine and wood turpentine represent the two primary commercial grades, differentiated by source and purity profile.

Technical-grade material is the standard market offering, with specifications commonly aligned to regional pharmacopeial or industry standards. These may include USP, BP, or EP depending on the specific end-use requirements.
