Pine Oil is a crucial upstream raw material for the specialty chemical industry, with its applications primarily focused on industrial sectors. This product is a by-product generated during the production of terpineol from gum turpentine, obtained through steam distillation of Pinus species. Please note the difference from pine essential oil.
The composition of Pine Oil includes α-Terpineol, other cyclic terpene alcohols, pinene monomers, and other terpene hydrocarbons. It possesses a distinctive strong piny odour and is miscible with alcohol. It is characterised by a potent sterilising effect (acting as a phenolic disinfectant, effective against numerous bacterial strains and enveloped viruses), as well as superior abilities in deodorisation, wetness, clearance, and penetration.
