Turpentine (9005-90-7) (136.24 g/mol)

Turpentine is a natural volatile oil obtained mainly from pine tree resins, composed largely of terpenes such as alpha-pinene and beta-pinene. It appears as a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong pine-like odor. It is insoluble in water, miscible with many organic solvents, highly flammable, and volatile.
In terms of uses and applications, Turpentine is widely used as an industrial solvent in paints, varnishes, coatings, and cleaning products. It is also used in the chemical industry as a raw material for producing fragrances, camphor, terpineol, and other terpene derivatives. In pharmaceuticals and traditional remedies, it has been used externally in liniments and ointments. It is also applied in printing inks, polishes, and adhesives. Additionally, artists use it as a paint thinner and brush cleaner. Its strong solvency and natural origin make it valuable in many industrial applications.
