[tab name=”Overview”]
Oleo pine resins are derived from tapping living pine trees. The process is similar to that of rubber tapping. Oleo pine resins are soft when compared to the other resins obtained from the tree. They are a mixture of an oil and a resin, unlike other hard resins that are a mixture of gum and resin.
Properties of Oleo pine resins:
- Typically, oleo pine resins are made of oil, a carboxylic acid component, and an oxygenated product of terpene.
- They are soluble in alcohol, but they are not soluble in water.
- Their appearance varies from light to dark shades of brown.
Preparation of Oleo pine resins:
These Oleo pine resins, when made to undergo distillation, separate into gum rosin and turpentine, which have several good applications themselves. On completion of tapping the resin, it is collected and transported for processing. Once processed, it can be packaged and is ready to be marketed.

[tab name=”Application”]
The various applications of oleo pine resins are as listed below:
Therapeutic applications
Oleo pine resins are largely used for therapeutic purposes because they contain essential oils that have healing effects. These oils also exude a pleasant aroma, hence they are also used in incense and cosmetic products such as bath oils.
Paint Industry
Oleo pine resins have excellent solubility in alcohol and solvents. Apart from that, they also have a high refractive index that gives them a glossy shine. These two properties make them suitable for use in varnishes and paints.
Polymer Industry
Oleo pine resins are used to make glue because of their sticky property. And these are preferred over other
resins because these are soft. Their water resistant property is also exploited and so these are used in
sealants.
