Chemical appearance

Pine oil has a very transparent yellow liquid colour and comes in an oil form. It is sparingly mixable or dissolvable in water because of its density. It is composed of different kinds of monohydric alcohols and terpene derivatives.

Chemical Applications and Strengths 

Pine is popularly used in the various flotation processes of both non-metallic and metallic minerals. It is also used in the flotation process of wide range of sulfide ores which include copper, iron sulfide, lead, non – sulfide minerals, and zinc.

• Soluble in water and has the tendency to decompose when heated and gets in contact with acids during which it will result in the reduction of flotation results.
• It has some collecting power for minerals like graphite, molybdenite, talc, coal, sulphur, and many more.
• It should be placed in an environment away from exposure to water and extreme heat from fire and sunlight. It should always be placed upright and never upside down
