Need Crude turpetine resin (Quantity: sample)

RFQ Details

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a Master student of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage at the University of Amsterdam. For my MA thesis I am doing research into volatile oils in collaboration with the interdisciplinary and international Impact of Oil research project (for more information see http://*****/). For my thesis I am investigating the use of turpentine oil in sixteenth century paint practice in the Netherlands.
I am writing you this email because I am trying to find crude turpentine resin. I would like to use this to execute distillation of the resin into the volatile turpentine oil. I was wondering if your company sells this crude turpentine tapped from pine trees? If so I would like to gently ask you if it is possible to send me a sample? If this is possible, I would be very thankful, since it will help my research a lot!

I hope to hear from you if there is any possibility to send me a sample and if so, to receive more information about the product itself and the conditions. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Nienke Woltman
