Artiza's turpentine says on the bottle exactly what it is for, which is more than most local solvents manage. Under the brand band the label reads TURPENTINE OIL, then FOR OIL COLORS in red, then Strong Thinner & Brush Cleaner — two stated jobs, no ambiguity. The volume is printed at the foot as 80ml ℮ (2.7 fl.oz).

It comes in clear glass with a white screw cap, and that is worth a sentence. Solvents live better in glass than in thin plastic over months of storage, and a glass bottle does not soften or distort if it ends up beside a heater. The turpentine reads water-clear through it, with no tint to carry into pale colour.

Now the comparison you should make before ordering, because we sell the alternative. Our Gold Star turpentine is Rs. 210 for 120 ml — Rs. 1.75 per millilitre, against Rs. 2.50 here. Ten rupees more buys you half again as much solvent. If your turpentine mostly goes into a wash jar, the Gold Star bottle is straightforwardly better value, and we would rather you knew that.

Where this bottle answers back is the glass and the labelling. If you keep solvent for a long time between painting sessions, or you want the container itself to state that it is intended for oil colour rather than for glass paint or general cleaning, the Artiza bottle is the more explicit purchase. Some painters also simply prefer a small bottle they will finish rather than a larger one that sits half-used.

Turpentine is a solvent whatever the brand. Work with a window open, keep it away from children and heat, and dry any solvent-soaked rag spread out instead of balled up. The label carries no purity grade or safety certification, so this page claims none.

It suits oil painters from about 12 years up. The Safencia price is Rs. 200 with Cash on Delivery across Pakistan. Stock, your city, and delivery charges are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch.
