Pinitol Oil; Pine Oil, essential oil consisting of a colourless to light amber liquid of characteristic odour obtained from pine trees, or a synthetic oil similar in aroma and other properties. Pinitol Oil; Pine Oil is used as a solvent for gums, resins, and other substances. It has germicidal properties and is employed medically as a principal constituent of general disinfectants. It is also used in odorants, insecticides, detergents, wetting and emulsifying agents, wax preparations, and antifoaming agents and in textile scouring and the flotation process for refining lead and zinc ores.
Pitch-soaked wood of the pine tree, principally Pinus palustris but also certain other species of the family Pinaceae, is subjected to steam distillation, solvent extraction followed by steam distillation, or destructive distillation to obtain the pine oil, which boils at 200°–220° C (390°–430° F). A variety of similar pine oils are obtained by distillation of cones and needles of various species of pines or by extraction from the stumps using solvents and steam. Synthetic Pinitol Oil; Pine Oil is produced by conversion of terpene hydrocarbons into terpene alcohols.
Chemically, pine oils consist principally of cyclic terpene alcohols and are used in the manufacture of chemicals. Pinitol Oil; Pine Oil is insoluble in water but dissolves in alcohol and other organic solvents.
Pinitol Oil; Pine Oil has the following applications/functions: 1. Pinitol Oil; Pine Oil is used as a cleaning product, disinfectant, sanitizer, microbicide (or microbistat), virucide or insecticide. Pine oil is a disinfectant that is mildly antiseptic. It will kill the causative agents of typhoid, gastroenteritis (some agents), rabies, cholera, several forms of meningitis, whooping cough, gonorrhea and several types of dysentery. 2. Pinitol Oil; Pine Oil is an effective herbicide where its action is to modify the waxy cuticle of plants, resulting in desiccation. 3. It is also used as a lubricant in small and expensive clockwork instruments. 4. In alternative medicine Pinitol Oil; Pine Oil is used in aromatherapy and as a scent in bath oils. 5. Industrially, Pinitol Oil; Pine Oil is used as a frother in mineral extraction from ores.
