Härting's turpentine fractionation plant was built in the southern province of Arauco, Chile, in an area with broad extensions of radiata pine trees, near to the major pulp mills. The Arauco facility isolates turpentine's major components: alpha-pinene and beta-pinene.   

     The alpha-pinene is used in the production of various grades of pine oil, terpineol, terpinolene, terpinil acetate, and dipentene. Likewise at the first stage, the beta-pinene is converted into myrcene.   

Pine Oil  
Pine oil is a blend of terpene hydrocarbons and cyclic terpene alcohols finding use in a variety of household cleaners.   

Terpineol  
     Terpineol is a mixture of isomeric terpineols obtained from the distillation of pine oil. This product is used in fragrance compounds for disinfectants, polishers and household products, and also as an intermediate for the production of very high purity alpha-terpineol.   

Terpinil Acetate  
     This product is widely used in perfumery for low cost fragrance, and it is often used in soaps because of its good stability to alkalies. The main compound is alpha-terpinil acetate, a chemical used as a chief component in fragrance and flavor manufacture.   

Dipentene  
     This product is obtained from distillation of pine oil. It is used as a pine fragrance in cleaners, deodorizers, masking agents, and for industrial purposes as a solvent.   

Myrcene  
     Myrcene is an open-chain terpene hydrocarbon used as an intermediate for the manufacture of flavor and fragrance chemicals.
