OLEUM SPIRITS Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Oleum spirits, also known as turpentine spirits, are volatile solvents derived from the distillation of pine resin. They are composed mainly of terpenes such as alpha-pinene and beta-pinene. Oleum spirits are commonly used as paint thinners, varnish removers, and solvents for various chemical processes. They have a characteristic pungent odor and are highly flammable. In addition to industrial applications, oleum spirits are used in traditional medicine and cleaning products. Proper handling and storage are necessary to avoid fire hazards and health risks, such as respiratory and skin irritation.
