In the 1930’s, dental impression cement was one of the toughest problems to remove. Many had tried unsuccessfully to remove it, typically with diesel fuel or toxic alternatives. In 1932, Edwin Lloyd Ackerman, was blending a batch of impression cement. As he stopped for lunch and began to peel an orange, Ackerman noticed the resins dissolving from his hands. After much research and sourcing of the highest quality components, the first SAFE formulation of Orange Solvent was born… and with this, so began the birth of Citrus Cleaning Technology.

Upon Ackerman’s death in the mid-seventies, ORANGE-SOLVENT continued while an improved, more versatile version, De-Solv-it, was launched. Millions of bottles later, De-Solv-it remains the top International performer on a host of specialty applications including crayon, gum, candle wax, oil, grease and more.
