Hi Trisha, I can help you understand the difference between paint thinner vs turpentine. Having studied construction materials and management, I have studied this subject in depth.
So, let me make things easier for you by stating the differences between the two.
Turpentine vs Thinner?
Here are some of the differences between turpentine and thinner.
| Turpentine | Thinner |
Turpentine is a material, which is derived from living pine trees or the peels of citrus. | On the other hand, paint thinner is made out of minerals. |
It is less toxic when compared to petroleum-based paint thinners. | It has a higher level of toxins present in it. |
Because of its ability to dry faster, turpentine is a preferred choice over thinner for interior painting. It will cost you more, but it comes with its set of benefits, as well.
I would like to conclude here. I hope you now know the difference between turpentine and thinner.

Hi! I guess you’re looking forward to painting your place or something similar. That’s why you’ve asked this question. I recently got my 2 BHK painted and had a similar question because both thinner and turpentine are solvents, that is, used as a base to mix something in. They are primarily used for thinning paints. So here arises a doubt in everyone’s mind, what is the difference between thinner and turpentine?
After getting my house painted, I gained enough clarity on the topic. Thus, I think I can help you to figure out the difference between thinner and turpentine. I have stated the same in five points below. Check it out!
Thinner vs Tarpin
| Thinner | Turpentine |
Thinner, a liquid itself is used for thinning another liquid’s consistency. | It’s a volatile oil which plays the role of a solvent in paint. |
Thinner doesn’t have a strong odour | Turpentine has a powerful smell. |
Thinner is comparatively cheap. | Turpentine is expensive. |
It takes a longer time for paint to dry using a thinner. | With Turpentine, the paint dries at a quick rate. |
It’s made out of petroleum. | It’s extracted from a resin of pine trees. |
Paint thinner is less eco-friendly. | Apart from a few synthetic materials in it, turpentine is more eco-friendly. |
I hope the above table helps you understand the difference between tarpin and thinner. The two have their share of advantages and disadvantages. But on the outside, tarpin does have an edge over paint thinner. It’s a safer version for people iin contact with painting work for long durations. So please choose wisely.
