Description and Uses
Turpentine oil is a kind of fluid isolated from live trees, mainly pines. It consists of terpenes including monoterpenes, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene and some amount of careen, camphene, dipentene, and terpinolene. It can be used as a solvent and as a source of materials for organic synthesis. For its application in solvent, it can be used for thinning oil-based paints that are useful for the manufacturing of varnishes. In organic synthesis, it can be used for the synthesis of fragrant chemical compounds such as camphor, linalool and alpha-terpineol. It can also be used for large-scale synthesis of bundles of aligned carbon nanotubes. It can also be used as natural flavoring agent as food additive. Moreover, it can be used to synthesize pesticide as well as be used to facilitate the endodontic retreatment.
Turpentine has been traditionally applied as a cleaning agent for paints, lacquers, rubber, and varnishes, as well as disinfectants and insecticides. However, particular usage of turpentine is in the pharmaceutical industry, and also perfumery, sprays, deodorizers, and stimulating ointments. Nowadays, turpentine is employed to provide isolated chemical compounds, which could be converted into a variety of products. Some terpenes like camphor, citral, linalool, and menthol, which are employed for the elaboration of other fragrances, can be derived from turpentine. Miscellaneous applications for turpentine are in the preparation of shoe, stove, and furniture polishes.
