Pine Chemicals & Turpentine Derivatives
Alpha Pinene 95
95% minimum assay
Description
Alpha Pinene is the principal constituent of turpentine and the starting point for a large part of terpene chemistry. Our 95% grade is produced by careful fractional distillation and is supplied to makers who need a defined, reproducible feedstock rather than a variable natural cut.
It is taken chiefly by aroma chemical producers, synthetic resin makers and companies making terpene based solvents and tackifiers.
