CAS number 109-66-0
n-Pentane is a hydrocarbon solvent that is composed of five carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms with a molecular formula of C5H12. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a low boiling point, which makes it an excellent solvent for use in various industrial applications.
One of the primary uses of n-Pentane is as a blowing agent in the production of foam insulation and packaging materials. When heated, n-Pentane vaporizes and expands, creating a foam that can fill the spaces between the insulation or packaging material. This property makes it an excellent choice for use in the construction and packaging industries.
n-Pentane is also used as a solvent in the production of rubber, adhesives, and other chemical products. It can dissolve a wide range of substances, making it a versatile ingredient in many formulations.
Additionally, n-Pentane is sometimes used as a fuel in small engines and stoves, as it burns cleanly and produces less pollution than some other fuels.
Overall, n-Pentane is a versatile solvent and blowing agent that is widely used in the construction, packaging, chemical, and energy industries. Its low boiling point and ability to dissolve a wide range of substances make it an important component of many formulations.
