D-Limonene Bio-Solvent
CAS Number: 5989-27-5
D-Limonene is a naturally derived, biodegradable citrus terpene solvent used as a green alternative to aromatic petroleum solvents in agricultural formulations. It provides excellent solvency for lipophilic active ingredients including pyrethrins, neem oil, and essential oil-based biopesticides. D-Limonene is favored in organic and reduced-risk pesticide formulations due to its GRAS status and rapid biodegradation.
