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.
