Pure Citrus Solvent
All solvent used in Land Ark products is a premium, food grade and 100% bio-based d-Limonene. This is the purest form of citrus turpenes and it is extracted only from the cold-pressed oil of the orange peel as a by-product of the juicing industry. The oranges are cold pressed which gives you both the juice and the oil, which is then separated. The oil is then purified via a vacuum distillation system. No chemicals involved! It is totally biodegradable and fully responsible for the wonderful orange aroma in our products. This is the only solvent used in Land Ark finishes and is also sold separately for thinning any of our other products if desired, or is also handy for other uses around your home and shop. We use Pure Citrus Solvent around our shop to clean up finish overspray off of windows, tiles, brushes, etc... It really has infinite uses and it's safer than any other solvent we know of!

Note: Please wear safety goggles when using this solvent (as well as if you are spraying our liquid finishes). Like squirting an orange into your eyes- it burns. If you do get Citrus Solvent in your eyes, flush with water or saline for 15 minutes at least. If you have sensative skin, please wear gloves and protective gear as well when using.
