CHAPTER
A.
Chemical
Overview
Pine
oil
is
generally
used
as
a
disinfectant
fluid.
Because
Pine

is
a
mixture,
Pine

(
November
9,
1990)
was
made
by
the
Pine
oil
industry
as
a
distinct
entity
for
testing
purposes
(
physical/
chemical,
toxicological
etc)
only.
Registered
Manufacturing
Use
products
(
MUPs)
contain
pine
oil
at
concentrations
between
99
to
100%,
in
all
these
products
alpha
terpineol
is
the
major
constituent
(
80%).
Pine
Oil
Blend
110990
was
made
using:
Glidco
