Citrine
Citrine is a high quality non-stick solution used in the edgebanding industry. Conventional organic solvents raise many questions related to their toxicity, volatility and petroleum origin. Citrine is a product that could be described as an alternative solvent. This biosolvent made from renewable raw materials of plant origin is an excellent substitute for solvents of petrochemical origin.
Citrine is used to counter the adhesion of glue to surfaces where it is not necessary to apply it. It can be used both on the top and bottom surfaces of the panel, and elsewhere on the edgebander (pressure roller, marker, etc.).
Citrine is a low viscosity product that evaporates faster, requiring less cleaning to remove it from the surface to which it has been applied. The product can be sprayed with an edgebander or applied manually.

Instructions
This product can be sprayed on or used by soaking a cleaning cloth. It can also be sprayed with the help of an edgebander by referring to your machine’s user manual. The product is applied on the upper side and the lower side on the edge of the edgebanding. It is important not to apply Citrine onto the edgebanding to ensure good adhesion of the glue. Applied in a thin layer, Citrine works as a non-stick on surfaces where glue-free is desired. Citrine is a low viscosity product, so it evaporates faster and requires less cleaning to remove it from a surface. To clean excess glue and Citrine, we recommend using Rubis cleaning solution.
