Douglas Genuine Turpentine - Pure Gum Turpentine for Oil Paints and Varnishes

A naturally derived solvent with high solvent strength:

Douglas Genuine Turpentine is distilled from the gum of pine trees, giving it a high solvent strength that makes it effective for thinning oil-based paints, enamels, varnishes, and natural resins. It improves flow, dissolves wet oil colours readily, and evaporates cleanly, leaving a fresh pine scent.

Trusted by artists and professional decorators:

Genuine turpentine is the traditional thinner of choice for artists working with oil colours, mediums, and varnishes. It aids paint in bonding, coating, and penetrating wooden surfaces, and can remove paint that has hardened slightly on a brush where mineral spirits may not be sufficient.

Additional uses beyond paint thinning:

Douglas Genuine Turpentine also functions as a solvent for most oil-based products and can be mixed with beeswax or carnauba wax to produce polishes with a distinctive fresh pine fragrance. It is suitable for industrial, professional, and consumer use as classified under the Douglas product Safety Data Sheet (CAS No. 8006-64-2).

Frequently Asked Questions

How does genuine turpentine differ from white spirit when cleaning brushes?

Genuine turpentine has a higher solvent strength than white spirit and can remove paint that has hardened slightly on a brush where mineral spirits may not be sufficient. It also improves paint flow, helps oil-based paints bond and penetrate wooden surfaces, and evaporates cleanly. For brush cleaning and thinning, it is the traditional professional choice over synthetic alternatives.

What paints, coatings, and materials can this turpentine thin or dissolve?

Douglas Genuine Turpentine thins oil-based paints, enamels, varnishes, and natural resins. It dissolves wet oil colours readily and functions as a solvent for most oil-based products. It can also be mixed with beeswax or carnauba wax to produce polishes. The product code is DTA0100 and the container holds one litre.

Is this turpentine flammable, and what precautions should be taken when using it?

This is a flammable liquid and vapour with a flash point of 35°C, so it must be kept away from heat sources, sparks, and open flame. Use in a well-ventilated area and avoid skin and eye contact. It is harmful if swallowed and toxic to aquatic life, so dispose of it responsibly. Refer to the safety data sheet before use.
