- Substance
Turpentine oil is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic pine odor, making it easily recognizable. It has a density of 0.86 g/mL, which is typical for this type of essential oil. The boiling point of turpentine oil ranges from 155 to 160 °C, and it is soluble in organic solvents but only slightly soluble in water. The flash point is approximately 35 °C, indicating its flammable nature. Its refractive index is around 1.47, and it has a viscosity of about 0.9 mPa·s at 20 °C, which is consistent with its liquid state.
