Turpentine Oil / Alpha Pinene |
|
Turpentine oil from Indonesia is a spirit distilled from Oleo Pine Resin. Traditionally, turpentine has been employed as a solvent or cleaning agent for paints and varnishes and this is still often the case today. There are also some specialized uses, in the pharmaceutical industry. Alpha Pinene and Beta Pinene, are two of the chief chemical components of Turpentine Oil.
These pinenes are separated and purified by distillation. Mostly turpentine oil from Indonesia nowadays, is used as a source of chemical isolates which are then converted into a wide range of products.
Many of these, including the biggest single turpentine derivative, synthetic pine oil, are employed for fragrance and flavour use, although there are also many important non-aromatic applications such as polyterpene resins. Pine oil is used in disinfectants, cleaning agents and other products having a "pine" odour.

Derivatives such as isoborny Lacetate, camphor, citral, linalool, citrinellal, menthol and many others are used either in their own right or for the elaboration of other fragrance and flavour compounds. Many of the odours and flavours in use today, which are associated with naturally occurring oils, may well be derived, instead, from turpentine. A few of the minor constituents of turpentine oil from Indonesia, such as anethole, are employed for fragrance or flavour use without the need for chemical modification.
PT. Naval overseas has its own plantation in Sulewesi and Sumetera, Indonesia where we collect oleo pine resin, which is our main raw material, for gum rosin and gum turpentine. Turpentine oil is distilled at our manufacturing unit in Tegal, around 400 kms from Jakarta, Indonesia. Our quality control is of the highest standards.
USES of Turpentine Oil / Alpha Pinene:
Thinning agent, Varnishes, Chemicals, Fragrance, Camphor etc.

Gum Benjamin is also known as Benzoin resin or styrax resin is a reddish brown , aromatic balsamic resin obtained from the bark of several species of trees in the genus Styrax. It is s obtained from Styrax benzoin grown on the island of Sumatra. Deep incisions are made in the trunk of the tree, from which the grayish colored sap exudes. When the resinous lump becomes hard and brittle, it is collected from the bark.
It has anti-pathogenic resins, which are exuded from the tree when it is damaged. It is used in perfumes, some kinds of incense, as a flavoring, and medicine. It is a common ingredient in incense-making and perfumery because of its vanilla ice-cream aroma and fixative properties.
USES:
Perfumes, Incense, Medicines.
