Overview
Terpineol, mainly alpha-terpineol, is made by hydrating pinene from turpentine. It has a sweet, lilac-like floral odour and is one of the most economical fragrance materials, widely used in soaps, detergents and household products.
Its low cost, good solvency and moderate evaporation give it industrial uses too. It is a key ingredient in pine-type disinfectant cleaners, a frother in mineral flotation (a component of pine oil), and the standard vehicle solvent in thick-film pastes for printed electronics and solar cells. Technical and perfumery grades are offered.

Questions
Terpineol, answered.
Perfumery terpineol has higher alpha-terpineol content and a cleaner, sweeter lilac odour for fragrances. Technical terpineol is used in cleaners, flotation and solvents where odour quality matters less.
Yes. Terpineol is a main component of pine oil frothers, which stabilise the froth that carries minerals in flotation cells.
Terpineol dissolves the binders used in thick-film pastes and evaporates at a controlled rate during drying, giving good printability for conductive pastes in electronics and solar cells.
