What is rectified turpentine?

There are several types of turpentine. Rectified turpentine is, arguably, a bit of a misnomer when it comes to 'true' turpentine. While regular or distilled turpentine is the sap from a tree (normally pine) tapped in a similar manner to maple syrup, rectified turpentine goes through an entirely different process. Rectified turpentine is made by literally mashing up trunk, limbs and leaves of a tree, then steaming out the spirits. Because of this, rectified turpentine has water, and therefore excess oxygen which can cause undesirable drying patterns in projects or art.


Storing Turpentine?

While turpentine is an extremely useful chemical to have around your home, there are a certain number of precautions that any responsible person should take when storing turpentine. First, it should be obvious that turpentine is a toxic chemical that should be stored away from the inside of your home. Turpentine vapors escape from the container, and these vapors can be dangerous if inhaled for prolonged periods. Also, consider the fact that turpentine is a very flammable liquid. Because of this, you should never store turpentine near heat lamps or any other source of intense heat in order to prevent combustion.


Is turpentine an element?

No, turpentine is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. Once it has this, it can go on the Periodic Table. So, as turpentine has many different types of atom in it, it's not an element.
