Background

Dipentene (Limonene) is a liquid with a pleasant lemon-like odor used as a slovent, manufacturing resins, wetting and dispersing agents. Commercial dipentene also contains other terpenes (Limonene). Limonene has been found to approximate the degreasing capabilities of a synthetic chemical, 1,1,1-trichloroethane. The use as a degreasing agent is increasing.
