Description
A viscous brown to black liquid with a turpentine-like odor. Pine tar is obtained by the destructive distillation of pine wood, such as Pinus palustris. It contains phenols, turpentine, Rosin, Toluene, Xylene, and other hydrocarbons. It is used in paints, roofing compositions, soaps and as an antiseptic. Historically, it was used to weatherproof ropes on ships. Also in baseball, pine are is often applied to bat handles to improve the batter's' grip.
