TURPENTINE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Turpentine is a volatile, flammable liquid with a strong odor, obtained by the distillation of resin from pine trees. It is used primarily as a solvent and thinner for paints, varnishes, and other coatings, providing excellent solvency and drying properties. Turpentine is also employed in the production of certain chemicals and in traditional medicine for its antiseptic and analgesic properties. Proper handling and storage of turpentine are essential to maintain its quality and prevent accidents, as it is highly flammable and can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial when working with turpentine. Its effectiveness as a solvent and its unique properties make turpentine a valuable chemical in numerous industrial and commercial applications, contributing to the production and use of paints, varnishes, and other coatings.
