Dipentene Oil (CAS 68956-56-9) is a naturally derived terpene mixture primarily composed of limonene and related cyclic monoterpenes. It is widely used as a biodegradable solvent, fragrance ingredient, degreasing agent, and intermediate in flavors, coatings, inks, and household chemicals.With its mild citrus aroma and excellent solvency power, Dipentene Oil offers an eco-friendly alternative to petroleum-based solvents.
Natural Origin: Extracted mainly from citrus peel or pine-based turpentine.
Eco-Friendly Solvent: High solvency, low toxicity, and biodegradable.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for industrial cleaning, coatings, adhesives, fragrances, and agrochemicals.
Cost-Effective: Affordable replacement for D-limonene in many formulations.
Pleasant Odor: Light citrus-like aroma enhances consumer product profiles.

Q1: What is the difference between Dipentene Oil and D-Limonene?
Dipentene is a mixture of terpene isomers, while D-Limonene is a single, purified terpene. Dipentene is more cost-effective and widely used as a solvent.
Q2: Can Dipentene Oil be used in fragrance applications?
Yes, it has a natural citrus profile suitable for air fresheners, cleaners, and perfumes.
Q3: Is Dipentene environmentally friendly?
Yes. It is biodegradable, renewable, and plant-derived.
Q4: What grades are available?
Solvent grade, industrial grade, and high-purity grade (≥95%) are available.
Q5: Is it safe for food applications?
Only food-grade limonene can be used for flavors. Industrial Dipentene is not recommended.
