📦 Product Overview:

D-Limonene 96% is a powerful citrus-derived terpene solvent widely used for cleaning, degreasing and removing sticky residues from suitable surfaces. Naturally associated with orange peel, D-Limonene offers excellent solvent performance together with a distinctive fresh citrus aroma. It is particularly useful for dissolving oils, grease, tar, wax, adhesive residue and label glue, making it suitable for workshops, garages, maintenance applications, cleaning operations and selected household tasks.

This 500ml size is ideal where a practical, manageable quantity of high-strength citrus solvent is required without purchasing a large industrial container. Supplied by HD Chemicals LTD in a 500ml UN-approved bottle, it is suitable for controlled storage and handling. D-Limonene has very low water solubility and is commonly used as an alternative solvent in formulated cleaners and degreasers. Always test on a small hidden area before use, particularly on plastics, paints, varnishes and delicate surfaces.
