One of the essential oils, it is an important industrial raw material. Turpentine is a liquid extracted from the turpentine of a conifer plant by distillation or other methods. The main component is limonene. Turpentine oil can be mixed with chloroform, ether or acetic acid in any ratio, but it is insoluble in water. Turpentine oil is a high flash point flammable liquid that is volatile and generates a lot of smoke when it is burned. Newly-manufactured turpentine is a colorless, odor-free liquid. Storage time is too long or exposure to the air will cause the color to gradually turn yellow and odor increased.
