Turpentine
A sustainable product extracted from forestry. It’s an extremely pungent chemical which curiously enough is used in the creation of perfumes, where fragrant substances are chemically attached to our skin.
The demand for crude sulphate turpentine is increasing on the international market. Not to be confused with the turpentine used as paint thinners, this chemical product is used within heavy industry as well as the manufacturing of perfume.
SunPine produces around 2000 tonnes of sulphate turpentine per year.
Safety is always in focus at SunPine and we work actively to build Sweden’s safest workplace. Below you will find the safety data that applies to our Turpentine oil.
Turpentine is a vegetable solvent used to dilute paint, varnish, oil, tar and to make various paint mixtures. Turpentine is made up by volatile essential oils that are distilled from the forest, particularly from conifer trees and most commonly pine.
The constituents of turpentine are, used amongst other things, in the majority of beauty products as well as in a mixture on industrial scale where turpentine is used as a solvent and a diluent.
Yes, turpentine from SunPine is extracted from sustainable raw tall oil
Turpentine smells very unpleasant and has an incredible ability to stick to skin. It is this quality that makes it ideal to use in perfumes, but only once the foul smelling sulphur compounds have been removed.
