Pine oil is an essential oil obtained from a variety of pine species, particularly Pinus sylvestris. Typically, parts of the trees that are not used for timber - logs, etc. are ground and steam distilled. As of 1995, synthetic pine oil was the "largest single turpentine derivative."
Composition
Pine oil is a higher-boiling fraction of turpentine. Both synthetic and natural pine oil consist primarily of α-terpineol, a C10 alcohol. The detailed composition of natural pine oil depends on many factors, such as the host plant species. Synthetic pine oil is obtained by treating pinene with water in the presence of a catalytic amount of sulfuric acid.
Uses
Industrially, pine oil was once used in froth flotation to separate minerals from ores. For example, in copper mining, pine oil is used to prepare copper sulfide ores for froth flotation.
It is also used as a lubricant in small and expensive watch instruments.
In alternative medicine, it is used in aromatherapy and as a fragrance in bath oils.
