Product Overview

Most people in the industrial chemicals space know dipentene by its other name – d-Limonene. It’s a naturally derived terpene solvent with a characteristic citrus odour and surprisingly strong solvency for oils, resins, adhesives and rubber. Its natural origin and relatively low toxicity profile make it popular where greener solvent options are preferred.
ISL Chemicals supplies dipentene / d-Limonene to rubber processors, cleaning product manufacturers and resin formulators in Pakistan.
Dipentene has good solvency for aliphatic and aromatic systems, works well as a diluent in alkyd and oleoresinous coatings, and is biodegradable – which matters increasingly to manufacturers selling into export markets with environmental compliance requirements.
