Citrus Solvent can be used as an effective replacement for toxic chlorinated solvents, glycol ether, MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), xylene, and Freon.Mineral spirits, methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, toluene, glycol ethers, and fluorinated or chlorinated organic solvents are all caustic chemicals that can be detrimental to health. As a straight solvent, the citrus natural solvent is a paint thinner alternative that can replace a wide variety of potentially harmful chemical products.We can ship via USPS Priority Mail to Hawaii and off-shore locations, but tracking is not ideal with USPS. Whenever possible, it is easier for us to ship UPS as they have a complete tracking system that allows us to track the package for safety purposes. NOTE: Citrus Natural Solvent can only be shipped through UPS Ground because of its flammability rating therefore, overnight, second day or any air deliveries are not possible. Can be easily disposed of with no threat to the environment.Of course, this does not mean to throw caution to the wind and celebrate by taking a healthy swig of solvent.As a matter of fact, when you drink orange juice from the store, you drink small amounts of Citrus Solvent in the form of oils from the orange peel from which the juice was squeezed!.Unlike paint thinner, our Citrus Solvent does not cause damage to the internal organs of the body when breathed in instead, it passes through without effect.As clear as ordinary water as opposed to the deep orange of lower grades, which means that it will not add more amber color when mixed with our Pure Tung Oil.The material released into the air by our Citrus Solvent is essentially the same material that is continuously being released into the air in every orange grove and is gently returned to the earth with the rain.Does not contribute to the depletion of the upper ozone or smog like mineral spirits or paint thinner.Does not contain any emulsions, surfactants, or any other additives that paint thinner products contain.
This small amount of water is emulsified in the solvent and will not raise wood grain but is released into the air as the solvent evaporates. It is, however, an excellent degreaser, paint thinner alternative, and can be used to replace petroleum chemicals such as mineral spirits.Ĭitrus Solvent is 98% pure citrus peel oil extracted from the peel of the orange fruit the other 2% is water.
