Description

Terpenes And Terpenoids, Turpentine-Oil, Limonene Fraction is a complex, naturally-derived hydrocarbon mixture primarily composed of limonene and related terpene compounds, obtained from the fractional distillation of turpentine oil. This versatile fraction is valued for its powerful solvent properties, pleasant citrus-like aroma, and role as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fine chemicals and fragrances. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, flavor & fragrance, and polymer sectors seeking effective, bio-based alternatives to traditional petrochemical solvents.

Application

• Industrial Solvent & Degreaser: An effective, high-strength solvent for removing oils, greases, adhesives, and inks in precision cleaning, parts washing, and paint stripping formulations.
• Flavor & Fragrance (F&F) Intermediate: Serves as a primary feedstock for the synthesis of aroma chemicals like carvone and terpineol, and is used directly to impart citrus notes in air fresheners and household products.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a solvent and penetration enhancer in pesticides, herbicides, and other agricultural chemical concentrates.
• Polymer & Resin Manufacturing: Acts as a reactive diluent and solvent in the production of resins, coatings, and adhesives.
• Household & Institutional Cleaning: A key ingredient in heavy-duty cleaners, hand soaps, and degreasers for its cutting power and fresh scent.
• Chemical Synthesis: Utilized as a starting material or intermediate in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals due to its reactive double bonds.

Quality Control

Our Terpenes And Terpenoids, Turpentine-Oil, Limonene Fraction is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure consistent composition, purity, and performance. Key parameters such as limonene content, specific gravity, and refractive index are verified. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available for every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids.
