Turpentine is an absolutely natural product that is very popular in the construction industry. It has earned high popularity due to its amazing effectiveness as a natural solvent for oil paints, waxes and natural resins. It is also an effective tool cleaner, it easily removes stains and degreases wood surfaces.
Gum turpentine is produced by distilling the resin of a coniferous tree (resin) with water vapor heated to a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius. As a result of distillation, turpentine and rosin are obtained, which is considered an excellent soldering flux and is used in the manufacture of soaps, varnishes, paints and paper production. As a rule, rosin in resin makes up 70% of the total mass, the remaining 30% is turpentine. Double-refined gum turpentine is considered the most environmentally friendly form of turpentine.
