 | It has been suggested that this article be merged with Naval stores industry. (Discuss) Proposed since January 2025. |
Naval stores refers to the industry that produces rosin, turpentine, tall oil, pine oil, and other oleoresin collected from conifers. The term was originally applied to the compounds used in building and maintaining wooden sailing ships. Presently, pine compounds produced by the naval stores industry are used to manufacture soap, paint, varnish, shoe polish, lubricants, linoleum, and roofing materials.[1]
