FAQ
What is Double Distilled Turpentine Oil and what is it used for?
Double Distilled Turpentine Oil (DD Turpentine) is a twice-distilled turpentine grade — a colourless liquid with a pleasant piney scent — used mainly as an intermediate in perfume and insecticide manufacturing, and as a cleaner, solvent and disinfectant component.
How is Double Distilled Turpentine Oil different from ordinary gum turpentine?
It is gum turpentine that has been redistilled a second time, which removes heavy ends and colour bodies to give a cleaner, water-white product with a milder, more pleasant odour and tighter distillation range — making it suitable for perfumery and insecticide intermediates where crude gum turpentine is not.
What are the main applications of Double Distilled Turpentine Oil?
It is used as a perfume and fragrance-chemical intermediate, an insecticide intermediate, an industrial cleaner and solvent, and a component in disinfectant formulations.
How is Double Distilled Turpentine Oil manufactured?
Gum turpentine obtained from pine oleoresin is distilled once to produce standard turpentine, then distilled again (double distillation) to strip residual colour, heavy fractions and odour impurities.
What does Double Distilled Turpentine Oil smell like?
It has a clean, pleasant piney smell, noticeably milder and less harsh than single-distilled or crude gum turpentine.
Which industries use Double Distilled Turpentine Oil?
Fragrance and perfumery compounders, insecticide manufacturers, and industrial cleaning, solvent and disinfectant formulators.
What are the key specifications of Double Distilled Turpentine Oil?
Colourless appearance, specific gravity 0.850–0.870 at 25°C, refractive index 1.460–1.480 at 25°C, and an ASTM distillation range of roughly 168°C (5%) to 189°C (95%).
What terpenes does Double Distilled Turpentine Oil contain?
Chiefly alpha-pinene and beta-pinene, with smaller amounts of carene, camphene, dipentene and terpinolene — the same terpene profile as gum turpentine, but in a cleaner, redistilled form.
How should Double Distilled Turpentine Oil be stored and handled?
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources, keep containers tightly closed, and handle in line with applicable regulations.
What should buyers consider when sourcing Double Distilled Turpentine Oil?
Confirm the colour, specific gravity, refractive index and distillation range, and verify batch-to-batch odour consistency if the material is going into perfumery or insecticide intermediates.
