Turpentine

From stench to scent

A sustainable product extracted from sustainable Swedish forestry. It’s an extremely pungent chemical which curiously enough is used in the creation of perfumes where fragrant substances are chemically attached to our skin.

Demand for crude sulphate turpentine is increasing on the international market. Not to be confused with the turpentine used as paint thinners, this chemical product is used within heavy industry as well as e.g. the manufacture of perfume.

SunPine produces around 2,000 tonnes of sulphate turpentine per year.
