No. Because of the confusion between turpentine, mineral turpentine, mineral spirits and mineral oil, I have included links to all of these substances. All of the above except mineral oil are toxic if one drinks them. Turpentine is the only one that is not a petroleum distillate. Mineral oil as sold in a pharmacy is for constipation and to be used as directed. See related links.
Mineral Turpentine Oil
Genuine turpentine is used by artists who paint with oils and is a wood spirit got by distillation of tree sap. Turpentine substitute is a synthetic spirit derived from mineral oil
Mineral turpentine is a petroleum-based solvent used for thinning oil-based paints and cleaning brushes, while turpentine essence is a natural solvent extracted from pine trees and commonly used in painting and as a solvent in varnishes. Turpentine essence has a stronger odor and may be more irritating to the skin compared to mineral turpentine.
A common solvent used to maintain viscosity is a thinner or diluent, such as mineral spirits or turpentine for oil-based paints. These solvents help to thin out the paint and control its consistency for easier application. It is important to follow manufacturer recommendations for proper solvent use to avoid affecting the paint's performance.
No, not all mineral oil is the same in terms of its composition and properties. Different grades of mineral oil can vary in purity, viscosity, and other characteristics.
Turpentine is not a mineral it is a plant extract.
Turpentine is a hydrocarbon that is less dense than water, therefore given equivalent volumes it would be lighter.
Mineral spirits or turpentine (oid). Use the first. You can get an odorless product. This suggestion is for your brushes.
The two classic substances that clean a paintbrush used in oil base paint are turpentine and mineral spirits. Both work excellently. I recommend the mineral spirits only because it is much less expensive than turpentine.
Mineral turpentine oil is typically produced through a distillation process of petroleum. Crude oil is refined and then further processed to create a solvent that is widely used in paint thinners, cleaning products, and as a solvent in various industries. The final product is a clear, transparent liquid with a characteristic odor.
The viscosity level of mineral oil used in the formulation of baby oil is typically low or medium. It is designed to have a smooth and easily spreadable texture on the skin, allowing it to glide on smoothly during application.
