Limonene (Dipentene) – LR Grade, 500 ml (UN Approved)

Limonene, also known as Dipentene, is supplied in a 500 ml UN‑approved container and manufactured to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade. This naturally occurring terpene solvent is widely used in educational chemistry laboratories for studying organic solvents, terpenes, and environmentally derived hydrocarbons.

Identified by CAS Number: 5989‑27‑5 and UN Number: 2052, limonene is a flammable liquid and must be handled in accordance with appropriate laboratory safety procedures and COSHH risk assessments. It is a colourless liquid with a characteristic citrus odour and limited water solubility, making it useful for solvent comparison and extraction studies.
