Alpha-pinene

Since 2024, Sunpine has also extracted the versatile and pine-scented product alpha-Pinen from our crude tall oil.

From waste to value creation

Alpha-pinene

Additional tall oil products

The fresh scent of coniferous forests makes alpha-pinene one of nature's most recognizable molecules. Alpha-pinene is used to produce fragrance components for perfumes, cosmetics, hygiene products, cleaning products and the like. It also functions as a starting material in chemical formulations that are then used in the production of, for example, solvents, adhesives, paints, surface coatings and tire rubber. Sunpine refines turpentine into alpha-pinene in a process that is both resource- and cost-efficient.
