Major component: 
Various monohydric alcohols and other derivatives of terpene, with α- terpineol the major. 

Description: 
Sparingly soluble in water. It may decompose on heating and in contacting with acids, and subsequently reduce the flotation efficacy.

Principal use: 
Pine oil can be used as daily lift wash agent, Disinfestant, high quality ink, painting solvent and mineral floatation agent. It is widely used in the flotation of various metallic and non-metallic minerals. It is mainly used in the flotation of warious sulfide ores, such as lead, copper,zinc, and iron sulfide, and non-sulfide minerals. It exhibits some collecting properties, especially for readily flotable minerals, such as talc, graphite, sulpher, molybdenite and coal etc. The froth produced by pine oil is more persistent than that produced by other frothers. 

Storage: 

To be protected from water.To be protected from torrid sunlight.To be protected from fire.
