Pine oil is used as a cleaning product, disinfectant, sanitizer, microbicide (or microbistat), virucide or insecticide.

It is an effective herbicide where its action is to modify the waxy cuticle of plants, resulting in desiccation.

Pine oil is a disinfectant that is mildly antiseptic.

Terpineol is any of four isomeric monoterpenoids.

Terpenoids are terpene that are modified by the addition of a functional group, in this case, an alcohol. Terpineols have been isolated from a variety of sources such as cardamom, cajuput oil, pine oil, and petitgrain oil.

Four isomers exist: α-, β-, γ-terpineol, and terpinen-4-ol. β- and γ-terpineol differ only by the location of the double bond.

Terpineol is usually a mixture of these isomers with α-terpineol as the major constituent.
