D-Limonene – Natural Citrus-Based Bio-Solvent

D-Limonene is a naturally occurring cyclic monoterpene found abundantly in the peels of oranges and other citrus fruits. It is valued for its characteristic fresh citrus/orange aroma and powerful solvent properties.

D-Limonene is highly lipophilic and has excellent solvency for oils, greases, resins, adhesives and other non-polar materials. This makes it a popular natural citrus solvent and bio-based degreaser for a wide range of industrial, household and specialty applications.

Its pleasant citrus odor also makes D-Limonene useful in fragrances, perfumes, soaps, cosmetics and air-care formulations.
