Pine bark itself does not contain turpentine; instead, turpentine is derived from the resin of pine trees.

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.

What is a pH of turpentine?

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.
