D-Limonene (5 Gallon)

Got this to dissolve HIPS (High-Impact Polystyrene), one of the options for dissolvable supports during 3D printing. And oh my, does it do the job nicely. As a test, I dropped in a sample support, pulled from a model, and let it sit in a mason jar. After an hour it did not look like it had done anything, so I poked at it with the tip of a screwdriver and it _went right through it_, leaving the tiniest of "scratches". The material had completely disintegrated, but was left suspended where it was. The coolest thing! Models printed with HIPS support come out so nice.Stired a bit the liquid goes quite cloudy, but still remains effective. I've printed 5 small (8cm high) models with HIPS support, and my quart of D-limonene is still effective, even though it looks like... umm... "very thin milk" now 🤗The odor is surprisingly subtle. I was expecting a face full of OMGCITRUS, given that those "citrus cleaners" have a mere 1–10% of D-limonene, but I'm guessing it's some of the other turpine hydrocarbons that supply most of the citrus smell. Don't even bother trying other "citrus cleaners" hoping there's enough D-limonene in there to do the trick. I left a test sample in "citrus blast", supposedly 10% D-limonene, and it barely made a dent in the surface after a week.And the 5 star rating for "presentation" is because it is packaged _totally_plain_and_covered_in_warning_symbols_, like any good tech-grade material should be. I don't even need to label it "Covid experiment" to stop my housemates using it as a bathroom cleaner!

I had to remove some 1950s tile. Back then the used a tar like adhesive I got the tile all off but nothing I tried would remove that adhesive, I researched online, someone suggested D-limonene. I first ordered a quart to try. I poured a some on the floor the adhesive started to dissolve instantly a little brushing wipe up with rags. This stuff is amazing so ordered a gallon to finish the job. The citrus smell and non toxic was a plus.

I'm not giving this product five stars simply because it sounds goofy to "love" a gallon of solvent. There is nothing wrong with the product, however. This is the real deal, 100% pure limonene, water white so it won't stain anything you apply it to and smelling like a ton of oranges. For stain and dirt removal, it is highly effective on anything that is oil soluble, is unlikely to blowup your washer or dryer (although it is flammable) and is miscible in water.

We re-order this again and again. Great supplier for pure D-limonene terpenes. We use these in our business in place of more harmful solvents for cleaning sticky, waxy products from baking trays. This stuff is liquid gold! We mix with water and a bit of liquid soap to act as an emulsifier, and place in a spray bottle. Will clean stubborn gunk from anything! Just spray, let sit, and then go to town! Derived straight from orange peels and the active ingredient in many orange based cleaners, this is a wonderful non-toxic alternative to heavy synthetic chemicals while also being a powerhouse cleaner. Skin contact isn't advised, but isn't harmful, just ultra-drying. 100% recommend this purchase!

Works great with HIPS filament. I use it straight and have been able to get multiple uses from a batch. I remove as much HIPS manually as possible then but the part and Limonene into a Harbor Freight rock tumbler using a glass jar and lid the fits inside the drum. In just a 2 - 5 hours the all the support material is removed. If you use dental probes to get out as much gummy HIPS as you can once it softens, it is even faster. Be sure to use gloves to protect your skin as well as eye protection. Need good ventilation too.

Wrong product description.This liquid is hazardous.

Pricy but worth it. It is a great way to go for green cleaning. The orange aroma is very refreshing. It smells like someone just peeled an orange. It is pure and not watered down, the cleaning action is good. It really got my stove shinny and my bathroom smelling fresh. I am going to try it on other applications. Try putting a few drops in your dishwashing detergent, and cleaning bathroom countertops for a fresh shinny affect.

This was purchased for the sole purpose of dissolving HIPS filament. That process turned out to be too time and labor intensive so now I use this for cleaning around the house. Works and smells great!
