D-Limonene Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- D-(+)-Limonene
- (+)-Limonene
- (R)-Limonene
D-limonene supplier for industrial solvent, cleaning, coatings, fragrance and flavour buyers in Malaysia. Also called D-(+)-limonene, (+)-limonene and (R)-limonene (CAS 5989-27-5, C10H16), it is a clear to pale yellow monoterpene with a characteristic citrus odour used as a solvent and scent component.
Commercial options include technical and industrial solvent grades for degreasing and formulated cleaners, plus high-purity and fragrance or flavour grades where assay, odour and residual limits are tighter. Confirm the grade against the process or formulation rather than treating mixed citrus oils as the same material.
Cleaners and maintenance teams use it for grease, adhesive and resin removal. Coatings and manufacturing plants use it as a process solvent, while personal-care and food formulators may specify a controlled grade for citrus fragrance or flavour notes.
Send the required grade, purity or specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

D-Limonene grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical-grade d-limonene | clear to pale yellow liquid | — | Industrial solvent and degreasing work where a commercial citrus terpene solvent is specified rather than a high-purity fragrance or flavour grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Industrial solvent and cleaner grade | clear to pale yellow liquid solvent | — | Degreasing, parts cleaning, adhesive and resin clean-up, and formulated citrus cleaners where d-limonene is the primary active solvent. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity d-limonene | clear liquid monoterpene | — | Applications that name a high-purity or low-residue d-limonene for fragrance compounds, flavour work or chemical synthesis, confirmed against the buyer specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Fragrance and flavour grade | clear to pale yellow liquid | — | Fragrance compounds, personal-care scent systems and suitable flavour uses where the selected grade and purity meet the formulation requirement. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

D-Limonene applications
Safety and handling
Keep sealed in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat, sparks and strong oxidising materials. D-limonene is flammable and can irritate skin or eyes; handle with suitable protective equipment and follow the safety data for the quoted grade.
Common questions about d-limonene
Is d-limonene the same as DL-limonene, dipentene or orange oil?
No. This page covers D-(+)-limonene, also called (+)-limonene or (R)-limonene (CAS 5989-27-5). DL-limonene and dipentene are racemic or mixed materials, while orange oil and lemon oil are multi-component citrus oils. State the exact identity and grade in the enquiry so the correct material is quoted.
Which d-limonene grade should I request?
Technical or industrial solvent grades suit degreasing, parts cleaning and formulated citrus cleaners. High-purity material is selected when residual limits or a tight assay apply. Fragrance or flavour grade is used when the formulation needs a controlled citrus monoterpene note rather than bulk solvent duty.
What specifications should a buyer provide for d-limonene?
State the intended application and any required limits for purity or assay, colour, odour, moisture and residual impurities. For an existing process or recipe, include the current specification or a representative sample requirement so the quoted grade can be matched more closely.
Is d-limonene suitable as a degreasing solvent and cleaner?
Yes. Buyers commonly specify d-limonene for grease removal, adhesive and resin clean-up and citrus-based cleaner formulations. Suitability still depends on the substrate, soil type and process conditions, so describe the cleaning duty when enquiring.
Can documentation and packing be requested with the quotation?
Yes. List the required product documents and preferred pack format in the enquiry. Available documentation, packing and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
What details are needed for a d-limonene price enquiry?
Provide the grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention any preferred pack size, documentation needs and required timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
