However, because d-Limonene has a tendency to cause many polymeric materials to swell, selecting the proper materials for packaging should be done carefully. The majority of product sold by Florida Chemical is stored in metal containers.
Steel is the preferred packaging material for drums and pails.
While it is possible to use unlined steel drums, it is not recommended. Especially in high humidity, condensation may occur in the container and corrosion may result. Therefore, Florida Chemical recommends that a phenolic epoxy liner be used in metal containers. Due to its resistance to rust, stainless steel tanks do not require any liners or special treatment. Most retail products containing d-Limonene are packaged in plastic containers.
