Gum turpentine, CAS 8006-87-9
Gum turpentine is produced by steam distillation from oleoresin, the fresh resin of coniferous trees. Chemically, it is a multi-component mixture of terpenes.
It is a colorless or slightly yellowish transparent, homogeneous, sediment-free liquid. It has a characteristic, rather pungent pine odor. It contains a mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily terpenes. It is soluble in organic solvents, acetone, diethyl ether, and ethanol. It is insoluble in water.
