What Is D-Lime 90?

D-Lime 90 is a high-strength citrus degreaser and asphalt remover, powered by 90% d-limonene—a natural solvent derived from orange peels. It’s engineered to dissolve heavy hydrocarbon-based residues that traditional degreasers can't touch.

Key Features:

• 90% pure d-limonene (citrus extract)
• Powerful solvent action for tar, oil, adhesives, and rubber buildup
• Biodegradable, petroleum-free formulation
• Pleasant citrus scent (compared to harsh chemical degreasers)

What Can D-Lime 90 Remove?

D-Lime 90 excels at breaking down:

• Asphalt and tar
• Road paint overspray
• Hydraulic oil and transmission fluid
• Bitumen and rubberized undercoating
• Heavy grease buildup
• Adhesive residue and decals
• Fuel stains and thick grime

It’s particularly effective in industries like:

• Construction & paving
• Equipment rental and heavy machinery
• Waste and sanitation
• Fleet maintenance
• Paint & body prep

How to Apply D-Lime 90

For Spot Cleaning (Tar, Oil, Decals, Overspray):

1. Apply undiluted D-Lime 90 directly to the surface using a sprayer or rag.
2. Allow it to dwell for 1–5 minutes, depending on the severity of buildup.
3. Agitate with a brush or towel if needed.
4. Rinse with water or wipe clean.

For Degreasing Surfaces or Equipment:

1. Dilute as needed (typically 1:1 to 4:1) depending on surface and soil level.
2. Apply via sprayer, pump-up foamer, or brush.
3. Let dwell, agitate, and rinse thoroughly.

💡 Always test in an inconspicuous area first. This is a powerful solvent and may affect some plastics or painted surfaces if left to dwell too long.

⚠️ Safety Tips & Precautions

While D-Lime 90 is naturally derived and biodegradable, it’s still a strong solvent and should be used with care:

• Wear gloves and eye protection
• Do not use on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight
• Avoid extended contact with rubber seals, soft plastics, or freshly applied paint
• Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources

Rinse & Follow-Up

After cleaning with D-Lime 90:

• Rinse thoroughly with water (or wipe clean if used on a small area)
• For vehicles or equipment, follow with a standard soap (like Old Glory or Stripes) to neutralize and finish the job
