Key Insights of Mineral Turpentine Oil Production Plant Cost Report 2025: Business Plan, Industry Trend and Raw Material Requirements

Mineral turpentine oil (MTO) is a petroleum-derived solvent widely used in paints, coatings, adhesives, and industrial cleaning. Growing construction, manufacturing, and automotive sectors are driving demand, supported by cost efficiency, versatile applications, and expanding global infrastructure projects.
Published 01 December 2025

Introduction

Mineral turpentine oil (MTO), also known as white spirit or solvent naphtha, is a clear, flammable liquid derived from petroleum distillation. It is widely used as an organic solvent in various industrial and domestic applications due to its excellent dissolving and degreasing properties. MTO is commonly used in paints, varnishes, lacquers, and printing inks as a thinning agent and cleaning solvent. It is also used in adhesive formulations, metal degreasing, dry cleaning, and household cleaning products. Mineral turpentine oil evaporates slowly, providing better control in surface coatings and improving paint application quality. It is available in different grades depending on purity and odor levels, making it suitable for specialized uses in automotive, construction, chemical processing, and manufacturing industries.

Market Drivers and Outlook

The mineral turpentine oil market is driven by growing demand from the paints and coatings industry, which relies heavily on MTO as a cost-effective solvent and thinner. Rapid urbanization, expansion of residential and commercial construction projects, and infrastructure development worldwide are increasing paint consumption, boosting market growth. Additionally, rising industrial activities and manufacturing output in sectors such as automotive, chemicals, furniture, and printing are supporting the need for solvents used in cleaning, degreasing, and surface preparation. Increasing use of MTO in adhesives, sealants, and household cleaning formulations further contributes to market demand. The product’s affordability compared to alternative solvents and its compatibility with a wide range of industrial applications strengthen its market position. Moreover, the growth of small-scale painting services and hardware markets in emerging economies is expected to provide new opportunities. However, environmental regulations and the shift toward eco-friendly solvents may influence future market dynamics.
