PRODUCT BACKGROUND

Ultra Orange is a volatile solvent derived from peel oils of Citrus fruit by unique Australian process called Spinning Cone
Columm Technology, developed by the C.S.I.R.O.

Citrus oils are recovered throughout the world during the processing of the fruit to make juice for bottling as fresh or as a
concentrate for exporting. D-limonene produced overseas and in Brazil contains much higher levels of impurities such as
Alpha Pinene, Sabinene an Octane with up to 2% Myrcene. These impurities can be detected by the faint aromas of caraway
seed, orange and licorice and are left over due to non-selective distillation processing. Our unique S.C.C recovery system
removes a higher portion of these impurities because of the selective brand gas phase, low temperature extraction methods.
The higher purity of the d-limonene produced by this method gives four distinct advantages over the imported d-limonene.

1- Lower residue on drying.

2- Even lower levels of skin irritancy.

3- Lower electrical conductivity.

4- Lower levels of odour.


WHY REPLACE 111, TRICHLORMETHANE 

There are three major culprits in Ozone depletion that have been singled out by the world’s health authorities. Accordingly the
Montreal protocol was drawn up and Australia being a signatory to this protocol has agreed to phase out C.F.C’s, and
Trichloroethane by November 1995 as has the USA, UK and CANADA.

Whilst there are no alternatives that have the same characteristics in evaporation rate, low flammability and high degreasing
power Citrus Recourses believe that Ultra Orange has.

Many chemical companies are offering replacements that are based on petroleum or are using fast evaporating low flash point
solvents like Ethyl Acetate which are just as dangerous as the products they are trying to replace.



THE NATURAL ALTENATIVE- ORANGES

Citrus Resources have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars researching not only the toxicology of d-limonene, they have
researched the applications and work place safety aspects along with the most important aspects of d-limonene – how to
make it work.


SOLVENT DEGREASER

Being a non conductive solvent Ultra Orange is designed to perform as an in place cleaning agent for electrical odors,
generators and related electrical equipment such as thermostats, switches, timers and telephone switching equipment of the
mechanical type. It evaporates slower than Trichloroethane or C.F.C but will leave no residue.


GENERAL SOLVENT CLEAN UP

Ultra Orange is a very effective touch up solvent for removing swaft, paint residue, grease, ink, carbon soils and fingerprints
as well as wax films and tar spots from motor vehicles. 

In the automotive trade it may be used as a circulating solvent cleaner or parts wipe, although our water soluble solvent
Orange Solv may be faster as it contains penetants and emulisifiers and allows water rinsing. This may be another solution if
water can be tolerated on the part you are cleaning.


EVAPORATIVE WIPE/ BATH SOLVENT FOR CIRCUIT BOARDS

May be used to replace higher flammable M.E.K and toluene as well as C.F.C, Trichloroethane evaporates slowly but
completely. Low vapor toxicity. Less toxic than M.E.K and Toluene Xylene. Ultra Orange is non photo chemically reactive
and will not effect common structure; metals used in aircraft industry including alclad and copper alloys. No testing has been
completed on cadmium or cadmium coated high strength steel.

A tank with moving blades under slow movement has been found to assist mechanical removal of soil with Ultrasonic Baths
providing the best solution for instant removal f smut, oils, light carbon, solder flux and wax residues.


CRITICAL APPLICATIONS 

Where ultra fast drying is required with no residue we recommend dilution with up to 25% (by volume) using
ISOPROLY ALCHOL or METHANOL 100% No substitutes to these should be considered.


ADHESIVES AND VARNISH

Ultra orange is a fast solubilizing solvent for waxy and sticky residues like hot melt adhesive, rubber (latex based) carpet
adhesives, self-adhesive labels and printer’s ink. Ultra Orange is amazing on chewing gum deposits on carpet or non-porous
surfaces.
