Gum Turpentine is the volatile fraction of pine resin, a colourless liquid with a slight pine aroma.
It consists mainly of terpene hydrocarbons and has numerous applications.
In the laboratory we carry out various tests to characterise our product: relative density; optical rotation; acidity index; peroxide index; gas chromatography.
