Description
Dipentene — also called racemic limonene — is a pale yellow, lemon-scented liquid. This bio-based terpene is prepared from turpentine and made up mainly of terpene hydrocarbons such as limonene, beta-phellandrene and myrcene.
Where D-Limonene leans more citrus-fruity, Dipentene tends toward a slightly woodier character, which suits it to fragrance work and general industrial formulation.
This commercial grade is used broadly as a solvent, cleaner, dispersant and process aid wherever industry needs a dependable terpene-based feedstock.

FAQ
What is Dipentene and what is it used for?
Dipentene — also called racemic limonene — is a pale yellow, lemon-scented liquid derived from turpentine, used as a solvent, cleaner, dispersant and fragrance component across industrial and perfumery applications.
What are the main industrial applications of Dipentene?
Commercial-grade dipentene is used as an industrial and household cleaner, a solvent in rubber reclaiming, and a dispersant/wetting/frothing agent, while the perfumery grade goes into soap, detergent and fine fragrance compositions.
What is the difference between Dipentene and D-Limonene?
D-Limonene is the pure dextrorotatory isomer with a bright citrus-fruity profile, while dipentene is a racemic (mixed-isomer) limonene with a slightly woodier character.
How is Dipentene obtained from terpene-rich raw materials?
It's prepared from turpentine, made up mainly of limonene along with beta-phellandrene and myrcene.
Which industries use Dipentene?
Industrial cleaning and rubber reclaiming, perfumery and cosmetics, and general terpene-based process industries.
What are the important physical and chemical properties of Dipentene?
It's a colorless to light yellow clear liquid with a lemon-pine odor, molecular formula C10H16, molecular weight 136.23.
What purity grades of Dipentene are available?
Commercial grade is specified at 92% purity, while the perfumery grade is specified at 95% minimum total terpene content.
How is Dipentene used in fragrance and chemical formulations?
The perfumery grade lends citrus-pine top notes to soaps, detergents and fine fragrance compositions, while the commercial grade serves industrial cleaning, degreasing and dispersant roles.
How should Dipentene be stored and handled?
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, resealing carefully once opened to avoid leaks.
What should industrial buyers consider when sourcing Dipentene?
Decide between commercial grade (92% purity, industrial use) and perfumery grade (95% total terpenes, fragrance use), and confirm refractive index and density consistency.
What is the difference between Commercial and Perfumery grade Dipentene?
Both are the same terpene mixture (largely dl-limonene). Perfumery grade is more thoroughly refined for a cleaner, milder odour and lighter colour so it can be used in fragrance compounding, while Commercial grade is a more economical, less-refined cut for solvents, cleaners and industrial reaction feedstock where odour and colour are less critical.
Who supplies Dipentene (Commercial) in bulk?
