D-Limonene's interesting chemical properties, pleasant citrus aroma, & FDA-GRAS rating ("generally recognized as safe") have earned the product phenomenal acceptance in many diverse chemical applications. D-Limonene from Florida Chemical Co., Inc. can be used in its pure form, blended with most other solvents & drying oils, or easily emulsified to make water soluble cleaning products. APPEARANCE & ODOR Clear water-white to slightly yellow liquid with a mild to strong citrus aroma depending on grade. USES & APPLICATIONS d-Limonene from Florida Chemical Co., Inc. can be used as a replacement for toxic chlorinated solvents, glycol ether, MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), xylene, Freon, and CFC's, parts cleaner, engine degreaser (automotive, aircraft, and aerospace industries), electronics cleaning, tar and asphalt remover, asbestos shingle remover, graffiti remover, grease trap maintainer, lift station and sewage treatment applications, hand cleaner, floor cleaner, printing press cleaner, carpet stain cleaner, metal cleaner, aerosol ingredient, fragrance additive, odorant for petroleum industry, heat transfer medium, and possible candidate for a variety of medical applications including cancer and AIDS research. PACKAGING Florida Chemical Co., Inc.'s d-Limonene is packaged in epoxy-lined containers as follows:
Florida Chemical Co., Inc.'s drums are typically orange or black DOT approved steel drums coated with an epoxy-phenolic resin liner. All drums of our domestic d-Limonene are filled to a net weight of 390 lbs. Dimensions of 55-gallon drums are: length 23", width 23", and depth 35". Imported drums of Brazilian d-Limonene are slightly smaller and typically filled to net weight of 375 lbs. Tank truck shipments average 6500 gallons (45,000 lbs). Overseas ISO tank shipments are either 20,000 liters (16,800 kg) or 24,000 liters (120,000 kg). Sample quantities (gallons & pints) are packaged in flourinated plastic containers or glass (1 oz. samples). STORAGE & HANDLING Filled drums should be stored in well ventilated, covered areas at temperatures which should not exceed 70° F (21° C) for extended periods of time. Air should be excluded from partially filled drums by displacement with Nitrogen or CO2. Citrus oils are subject to oxidation. This process may be inhibited by the addition of antioxidants. d-Limonene samples and certificates of analysis from Florida Chemical Co., Inc. are available upon request. Caution: The user should conduct his/her own experiments and establish proper procedures and controls before attempting use of Florida Chemical Co., Inc.'s d-Limonene on critical parts. |

Section II - HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Volatile Ingredients: D-Limonene (solvent) is
the major component (technical grade 95%, food grade 96%, lemon-lime 70%) with balance
other terpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds - octanal, nonanal, decanal, linalool
predominant. Product is a by-product of citrus, entirely of natural origin, and to the
best of our knowledge and belief contains no artificial flavors, sulfites, nitrites, or
pesticide residue exceeding tolerances established by the FDA. Florida Chemical Co.,
Inc.'s d-Limonene does NOT contain lead, cadmium, mercury, or hexavalent chromium or come
in contact with these chemicals since it is a citrus derived essential oil produced by
steam distillation. Further, Florida Chemical Co., Inc.'s d-Limonene is packaged in food
grade containers with inert liners that do NOT contain lead, cadmium, mercury, or
hexavalent chromium. Florida Chemical Co., Inc.'s d-Limonene does NOT contain and is NOT
manufactured with any of the Class I or II ozone-depleting substances listed under the
United States Clean Air Act of 1990. Hazardous Materials Identification System - HMIS:

Section VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Respiratory Protection: Not normally
required. If vapor concentration becomes high, use NIOSH approved respirators. Ventilation: Local exhaust should be adequate. Mechanical ventilation otherwise recommended if necessary. Skin Protection: Oil resistant gloves. Eye Protection: Safety goggles or glasses suggested. Other Protective Equipment: Oil resistant apron, emergency eye wash and shower stations. Appropriate Hygienic Practices: Wash thoroughly after handling. Launder contaminated clothing before re-use. |

Section IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing:
Usual precautions for combustible liquids. Handling and Storage Precautions: Store in sprinklered warehouse. Avoid contact with incompatible chemicals listed in Section IV. Store in tightly sealed, full containers at temperatures below 70° F (21°C). Partially filled containers should be blanketed with nitrogen. Other Precautions: Product may expand slightly in storage causing pressure to build in container. Open container carefully if product appears to be under pressure. Drum lining may occasionally chip and fall to bottom of container after long storage or excessive handling. As a precaution, pour liquid through filter/strainer to catch small pieces of liner before blending or repackaging. Commercially clean empty containers before re-use.
