Turpentine is also known as "spirits of turpentine." It is a volatile essential oil derived from the resin of pine trees and is commonly used as a solvent in paint and varnish, as well as in some medicinal applications.
Turpentine is a solvent derived from pine resin and is not water-soluble, which makes it difficult to assign a pH value. Since pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution, turpentine itself does not have a pH. However, if mixed with water, any potential pH would depend on the presence of impurities or other substances rather than the turpentine itself.
Yes, turpentine does expand. In fact, it expands more than oil, water and benzene!
No. Turpentine does not sink in water. Like many oil based organic solvents, turpentine floats in pure water. Engineers and scientists use a measurement called Specific Gravity to measure how dense a liquid is in comparison to that of water. Pure turpentine has a Specific Gravity of 0.85(@25 deg Celsius). On the other hand, water has a specific gravity of 1.0. That means that turpentine at will eventually float to the top of a water bath.
Turpentine is brownish yellowish kind of liquid that is secreted from some kinds of trees.
Yes, turpentine is toxic if ingested. It can cause a range of symptoms including stomach pain, vomiting, and kidney damage. In severe cases, ingestion of turpentine can be fatal. It is important to seek medical help immediately if someone ingests turpentine.
The common name for the terebinth tree is the turpentine tree.
Turpentine
Synthetic turpentine is a petroleum-based alternative to natural turpentine, which is derived from pine trees. It is commonly used as a solvent in paints, varnishes, and other coating materials to thin them out and clean brushes. Synthetic turpentine has a similar odor and properties to natural turpentine but is more stable and less likely to yellow over time.
Pine bark itself does not contain turpentine; instead, turpentine is derived from the resin of pine trees. The resin is collected from the tree and processed to produce turpentine, a volatile oil used as a solvent and in various industrial applications. While pine bark may contain other compounds beneficial for medicinal or ecological purposes, it is not a direct source of turpentine.
Pine resin, from which we extract 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.
No, turpentine will not melt plastic.
Water is more dense than turpentine, by about 10%.
Turpentine is a good solvent for paints.

No. Most plastics are permeable for the small molecules the are part of turpentine. Use Glass to store turpentine.
You buy turpentine in a paint store or a hardware store.
