Turpentine is a colourless liquid used, for example, for cleaning paint off brushes. a type of oil used for making paint more liquid or removing it from clothes, brushes etc (tourbentine, from terebinthina, from terebinthus tree from which turpentine is obtained, from terebinthos). Any resinous exudate or extract from conifers, especially pines; now also commonly a term for its volatile fraction, oil (or spirits) of turpentine. Semifluid mixtures of organic compounds consisting of resins dissolved in a volatile oil, turpentines can be distilled (see distillation) into the volatile oil of turpentine and the nonvolatile rosin. The oil, a mixture of monoterpenes (see isoprenoid), chiefly pinene, is a colourless, odorous, flammable liquid that does not mix with water but is a good solvent for many substances. Oil of turpentine is favoured over petroleum solvents as an oil-paint thinner, varnish solvent, and brush cleaner. Its chief use is now as a raw material for resins, insecticides, oil additives, and synthetic pine oil and camphor and as a solvent
{i} oil and resin derived from certain coniferous trees; volatile pungent oil distilled from this mixture and often used as a solvent or paint thinner
A colorless, volatile oil distilled from pine Used as a thinner and cleaning solvent in the past, it has since been replaced by mineral spirits or white spirits
volatile liquid distilled from turpentine oleoresin; used as paint thinner and solvent and medicinally obtained from conifers (especially pines)
It is also obtained from many coniferous trees, especially species of pine, larch, and fir
A semifluid or fluid oleoresin, primarily the exudation of the terebinth, or turpentine, tree (Pistacia Terebinthus), a native of the Mediterranean region
a volatile essential oil obtained from the wood of pine trees by steam distillation; it is a complex mixture of monoterpenes; it is used as a solvent and paint thinner
volatile liquid distilled from turpentine oleoresin; used as paint thinner and solvent and medicinally
Turpentine is entirely unrelated to modern "substitute turpentine" or "white spirit" A wide range of oleoresins, distilled from coniferous trees Many uses as a solvent, particularly for paints and lacquers see also Venice Turpentine
A volatile oil used as a thinner in paints and as a solvent in varnishes Chemically, it is a mixture of terpenes
