DESCRIPTION
d-Limonene, a clear and thin liquid with a refreshingly dry citrus scent, is derived from the steam distillation of citrus rinds. This natural extraction method ensures a pure and potent product that captures the essence of citrus fruits. Renowned for its versatility, d-Limonene stands out as a safer and more effective alternative to many commercial cleaners. When used at concentrations of 5-15% of the total product, it can be blended with surfactants to create industrial-strength cleaners. Alternatively, it can be solubilized and added to water and vinegar bases to produce highly effective natural disinfectant surface cleaners suitable for home use.
d-Limonene can also be utilized at full strength as a biodegradable solvent. It effectively removes stains, grease, tar, and more, making it a natural replacement for conventional solvents that often contain chlorine or petroleum. Its mild nature has also made it a favored ingredient in water-free hand soaps, where it not only cleanses but also imparts a fresh citrus scent to hands.
The multifunctional properties and environmentally friendly profile of d-Limonene make it an invaluable ingredient in both household and industrial cleaning formulations. Elevate your formulations today!
