Turpentine Extra Pure is a high-purity, naturally derived solvent composed mainly of terpenes such as α-pinene and β-pinene. It is commonly used in analytical and organic chemistry as a non-polar solvent for waxes, oils, and natural resins. In laboratory settings, it is valued for its effectiveness in extractions, cleaning, and synthesis processes. Due to its volatility and flammability, proper storage and PPE use are essential. Its Extra Pure grade ensures minimal contamination, making it suitable for precision lab work and sensitive chemical applications.
