👨‍🔬 Synthesis Expert’s Note:

Our Gum Turpentine is sourced primarily from Masson Pine, which is globally recognized for its high α-Pinene content (Instance Data: 76.8%).

Compared to Slash Pine (which is higher in β-Pinene), our product is the preferred feedstock for synthesizing Camphor, Borneol, and Terpineol, offering higher theoretical yields in hydration reactions.

3. Core Applications & Industry Value

A. Raw Material for Synthesis (Deep Processing)

Gum Turpentine is the starting point for the “Pine Chemicals” value chain.

• Camphor & Borneol: The high α-Pinene content allows for efficient isomerization.

• Terpineol: Used to produce pharmaceutical and perfume grade Terpineol through hydration.

• Resins: Used in the production of Terpene Resins and Polyterpene Resins for adhesives (Hot melt adhesives).

B. Paints, Coatings & Enamels

• Superior Solvency: Unlike mineral spirits, Turpentine has a high Kauri-Butanol value, making it the best solvent for natural varnishes, phenolic resins, and alkyd paints.

• Film Properties: Its evaporation rate allows for excellent leveling (flow) of the paint film, preventing brush marks.

C. Pharmaceutical & Medicinal Use

• Due to its natural origin and purity, it is used in the formulation of topical analgesics, muscle rubs, and ointments for its warming and rubefacient properties.

4. Production & Quality Control

• Source Control: We collaborate directly with forestry stations in Guangxi and Yunnan provinces to collect fresh oleoresin.

• Distillation: Produced via steam distillation under vacuum to prevent thermal degradation of the pinenes.

• Storage Stability: Stored in inert tanks to minimize oxidation (thickening) before packaging.

5. Packaging & Shipping

• Galvanized Iron Drum: 175 kg net weight. (Standard Export Packing)

• ISO Tank: 20 MT (Bulk liquid suitable for large synthesis plants).

• Storage: Keep in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Separate from oxidants and strong acids. Shelf life is 12-24 months if sealed properly.
