Turpentine
Turpentine (Product Code: SCI-751/329) is a volatile, non-polar solvent oil used to dissolve waxes, resins, oils and paints in school and college solubility experiments. Listed as analytical reagent grade, it is packed in a 100 ml bottle and shipped with an MSDS, which makes it a practical choice for chemistry teachers building a set of contrasting solvents. Turpentine is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its range of chemistry consumables for laboratories.

What Is Turpentine Used For?
Turpentine is traditionally distilled from pine resin, and its oily, non-polar character is what makes it useful in teaching. In a “like dissolves like” practical, students place small samples of candle wax, cooking oil, salt and sugar in test tubes of water, ethanol and turpentine, then record which solvent dissolves each one. Wax and oil dissolve in turpentine while the ionic and sugar samples do not, giving a clear, visual lesson on polarity.
It is also handy for cleaning oil-based paint, grease and wax residues from apparatus. Turpentine is flammable and its vapour is irritating, so keep it away from Bunsen flames, work in a ventilated room, use only a few millilitres per test tube and wear gloves and goggles. Return unused liquid to a labelled, tightly closed bottle.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, is an Ambala-based company that sources and supplies laboratory chemicals such as Turpentine for schools, colleges and dealers. Buying solvents together with test tubes, racks and safety wear from the same supplier keeps the paperwork for a practical in one place. Learn more about the company on the ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of solvent is Turpentine?
Turpentine is a volatile, non-polar solvent oil traditionally obtained from pine resin. It dissolves waxes, resins, oils and oil-based paints, which is why it is used in school solubility experiments and for cleaning such residues from lab apparatus.
What pack size and grade is this Turpentine?
This Turpentine, code SCI-751/329, is listed as analytical reagent grade in a 100 ml pack. Tell us how many packs each laboratory needs and we will include the full quantity in your quotation.
Is an MSDS provided with Turpentine?
Yes, Turpentine is supplied with an MSDS. It covers the flammability and irritation hazards, safe storage and first-aid steps, so file it with your chemical records and brief students on it before the practical.
How long does Turpentine keep?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Store Turpentine tightly capped, away from heat, sunlight and open flames.
Who supplies Turpentine for school laboratories?
Turpentine is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers throughout India and in international markets.
Can Turpentine be ordered with other solvents and glassware?
Yes. Turpentine can be added to one enquiry with other solvents, test tubes and safety items from the catalogue. List every item and quantity so we can quote them together through the contact page.
