Terpine resin

Turpentine. Turpentine is used directly as a solvent, thinner, or additive for paints, varnishes, enamels, waxes, polishes, disinfectants, soaps, pharmaceuticals, wood stains, sealing wax, inks, and crayons, and as a general solvent. The chemistry of its mono-terpenes offers many possibilities for conversion to other substances, as illustrated in Fig. 28.20. There is increasing use of turpentine to produce fine chemicals for flavors and fragrances. An important use of turpentine is in conversion by mineral acids to synthetic pine oil. It also is a raw material for making terpin hydrate, resins, camphene, insecticides, and other useful commodities. These uses are included in the following summary of its applications. 

This terpine ether known as terpinyl methyl ether is a light, colored liquid with a pleasant odor, which contains some impurities. It is a strong solvent for resins and is used in alkyd enamels to the extent of 2 per cent to which it imparts flow. 

Others. The major use of turpentine oil is as a solvent (e.g., paints) and as a starting material for the synthesis of useful chemicals such as camphor, menthol, terpin hydrate (an expectorant), a-terpineol and other fragrance compounds, and resins (adhesives, chewing gum, etc.), among others. ...
