beta-Pinene(CAS#127-91-3)

Introduction

Beta-pinene, also known as β-pinene, is a natural organic compound. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong pine scent.Beta-pinene has a wide range of uses. It is one of the main volatile components of many pine trees and other coniferous plants, commonly used in the preparation of rosin, turpentine, and other resin products. It is also used as a raw material for solvents, lubricants, and antioxidants.The most common method to obtain beta-pinene is by extracting it from natural pine resin or turpentine derived from pine resin. After extraction, high-purity beta-pinene can be obtained through processes such as distillation and purification. Beta-pinene can also be synthesized through methods like pyrolysis or chemical synthesis.In terms of safety, beta-pinene is a low-toxicity, harmless compound. However, it is flammable and irritant, so contact with fire sources and sensitive areas such as skin and eyes should be avoided during use. Long-term exposure may cause allergic reactions or irritation.
