What is Gum Turpentine Oil (V2)?
Turpentine oil with molecular formula C10H16 is a transparent colorless thin volatile liquid that has a characteristic odor. It is also known as spirits of turpentine and oil of turpentine. It is the main constituent of the pine tree obtained by the distillation of resins of a living pine tree. The important Pines used for the production of turpentine oil are Longleaf pine and Maritime pine.
Manufacturing Process
Turpentine oil is produced from Pine Tree. The resins are collected, and then it is sent to a factory where it is melted. Further distillation and condensation yield turpentine oil.
Pine Tree -> Sap Collection -> Fresh resins -> Steam boiler to melt resins -> Distillation of resin -> Condensation of volatile compounds -> Turpentine Oil
