About D-Limonene

Buy d-limonene (CAS 5989-27-5) from Alliance Chemical in food and technical grades. D-limonene is a citrus-derived solvent used for degreasing, adhesive removal, fragrance and flavor-adjacent formulation, odor control, and industrial cleaning where a high-solvency terpene solvent is preferred.

Products In This Collection

This collection includes d-limonene food-grade and technical-grade products, typically used where orange/citrus solvent performance is required. Buyers can choose grade based on end-use, documentation needs, and whether the application is industrial cleaning, formulation, or food-adjacent work.

Common Applications

  • Industrial degreasing: D-limonene cuts oils, greases, asphaltic soils, and adhesive residues in many maintenance and manufacturing environments.
  • Adhesive and resin removal: Its terpene solvency makes d-limonene useful for label adhesive, residue, and resin cleanup on compatible surfaces.
  • Specialty formulation: Food-grade d-limonene supports fragrance, flavor-adjacent, and cleaning formulations where citrus character is part of the specification.
  • Wafer and precision cleaning support: Specialty users select d-limonene for wax or residue removal where compatibility and residue control have been validated.

Grade & Selection Notes

Use Technical Grade d-limonene for industrial cleaning, degreasing, and maintenance. Use Food Grade d-limonene only when your application requires that grade and your internal compliance team has confirmed suitability.

Safety & Handling

D-limonene is combustible and may cause skin sensitization. Use gloves and eye protection, provide ventilation, and keep containers closed away from heat and oxidizers. Review the Safety Data Sheets before use and follow your site-specific handling procedure.

Why Buy From Alliance Chemical

Most in-stock d-limonene orders ship in 1-2 business days. SDS and lot documentation support are available for grade-sensitive buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is d-limonene used for?
D-limonene is used for degreasing, adhesive removal, resin cleanup, odor control, and citrus-based cleaning or formulation work.
What is the difference between food grade and technical grade d-limonene?
Food grade is selected when a specification requires it for food-adjacent or formulation work. Technical grade is used for industrial cleaning and general solvent applications.
Is d-limonene the same as orange oil?
D-limonene is the primary terpene associated with citrus/orange oil, but commercial grades vary in purity, odor profile, and specification.
Can d-limonene replace petroleum solvents?
It can replace some petroleum solvents in compatible degreasing or adhesive-removal workflows, but performance, residue, odor, and material compatibility should be tested.
Does d-limonene require PPE?
Yes. Use chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and ventilation. Review the SDS for your grade before use.
