A semifluid or fluid oleoresin, primarily the exudation of the terebinth, or turpentine, tree (Pistacia Terebinthus), a native of the Mediterranean region. It is also obtained from many coniferous trees, especially species of pine, larch, and fir.
spirits of I A valuable solvent obtained by distilling the resin of the pine tree. Resin is leached from the living tree or given off when the wood is heated.
A colorless liquid with a penetrating odor; lighter than water. Uses include solvent, thinner for paint and varnish, insecticide, medicines and perfumes. Hazard: Flammable. Eye, nose, throat irritant. Headache and vertigo.
a high quality oil paint thinner and solvent.
This is the most common diluent in oil painting. It has no binding properties and if too much is used, tends to absorb the colors creating a dusty, dull effect. If used in quantities, the rapid evaporation will cause deterioration of the paint surface.
A solvent distilled from the gum of pine trees and used as a paint thinner. Highly volatile, flammable, and quite toxic by all routes of exposure. Accidental ingestion can cause aspiration into the lungs and subsequent chemical pneumonia. Products with more than 10 % turpentine require special labeling by CPSC*Flammable. Eye irritant. Can cause allergenic sensitization. Neurotoxic. Can cause serious irritation of the kidneys. Used in some furniture polishes, auto, art, and shoe products. urea: Skin irritant. Allergen. Used in some laundry soil and stain removers.
1) Gum. The pitch obtained from living pine trees. A sticky viscous liquid. 2) Oil. A volatile liquid obtained by steam distillation of gum turpentine, consisting mainly of pinene and diterpene. Turpentine is frequently identified in debris samples containing burned wood.
obtained from conifers (especially pines)
volatile liquid distilled from turpentine oleoresin; used as paint thinner and solvent and medicinally
Distilled pine oil, used as a cleaner, solvent or thinner for oil-based and alkyd coatings.
Since ancient times man has used the extracts from certain species of pine trees for purposes as varied as treating head lice and protecting ships hulls. Even in modern times there remains a little turpentine in some medicinal chest rubs. It is an excellent chemical for removal of old varnish but will dissolve paint as well. Turpentine should be stored in a well-ventilated, dark place, as light will make turpentine cloudy and thick.
An oil-base Paint Thinner, usually more expensive than plain Paint Thinner and recommended for use with Varnish
The traditional solvent or thinner for a drying oil (such as linseed oil) distilled from the resin that is exuded by certain trees, e.g., the European larch, white fir, and American longleaf pine.
A colourless, volatile oil distilled from pine. Used as a thinner and cleaning solvent in the past, it has since been replaced by mineral spirits or white spirits.
A mixture of terpenes, principally pinene, obtained by the steam destillation of pine gum recovered from the condensation of digester relief gases from the cooking of softwoods by the kraft pulping process
A thinner used in oil painting derived from resins exuded from various conifers. Also called oil of turpentine, pure gum spirits of turpentine, English distilled turpentine.
A thin volatile essential oil obtained by steam distillation or other means from the wood or exudates (material that has oozed out) of certain pine trees and used as a paint thinner, solvent, and medicinally as a liniment.
A volatile oil used as a thinner in paints and as a solvent in varnishes. Chemically, it is a mixture of terpenes.
A solvent made from distillate of pine resins, used as a thinner and cleaner for alkyd-based paints.
A colourless, volatile liquid obtained by distillation of the oleoresinous secretions found in pine trees.
The earliest solvent, it was made by distilling parts of pine trees, particularly the semi-liquid resinous exudation.
A volatile thinner produced by the distillation of the sap of pine trees.
A distilled chemical produced from tapping into a living pine and harvesting the sap.
The name for a class of liquids composed of oleoresins. French turpentine is distilled from the resinous pitch obtained from conifers of the Mediterranean region; Venetian turpentine from that of larch trees. French turpentine is also called oil of turpentine. The cheapest varieties of mineral turpentine are by-products of the petrochemical industry. (Cf. white spirit.)
A colorless liquid, which is used as a thinner for oil paints and varnishes, distilled from the products of the pine tree.
white spirit, turpentine, turps [colloq.
A volatile solvent obtained from the sap of pine trees. Used to thin oil paints.
1. An oleoresin secreted by various conifers. 2. A volatile pungent oil distilled from turpentine, used in mixing paints and varnishes; also called Turps.
Paint thinner manufactured from pine oil, used to thin oil based paints.
