Alpha-Terpineol 95% is a high-purity terpene alcohol, typically presenting as a colourless transparent liquid with a distinctive lilac and pine aroma. As a versatile chemical, it can be sourced both naturally (e.g., via distillation from tree extracts like pine oil) and synthetically. Industrially, alpha-Terpineol is primarily produced by hydrating alpha-pinene or dehydrating terpin hydrate, with the synthetic process often resulting in isomers such as β-Terpineol and γ-Terpineol.
It is widely used as a key component in fragrances such as lilac and lime. alpha-Terpineol also serves as a raw material for synthesizing other aromatic chemicals.
Terpineol is a monoterpene alcohol mixture typically derived from the hydration of alpha-Pinene or Gum Turpentine. It is not a single, pure isomer but rather a stable combination of various isomers, including alpha-, beta-, and gamma-terpineol, with alpha-terpineol being its primary and most representative constituent. This product commonly appears as a colourless to pale yellow, viscous, transparent liquid, emitting a pleasant lilac-like fragrance complemented by pine, floral, or citrus notes.
Terpineol is naturally found in pine oil, lavender oil, orange leaf oil, neroli oil and other plant oils.
α-Terpineol, β-Terpineol, γ-Terpineol, and terpinen-4-ol are four isomers of terpineol. α-terpineol is the major component.
Terpineol is a viscous liquid with pine-like and clove-like odor.
Terpineol is widely used in the fragrance formulation, especially in soaps and synthetic detergent.
