Pentamer is a branched olefin produced by the polymerization of propylene. Pentamer is also referred to as propylene pentamer. It is preferred name for branched C15 olefin.

Pentamer is used for solvent applications and or carrier fluids (e.g. drilling fluids) and as a supplement or replacement for tetramer. Other applications are the production of alkylphenols, alkenylsucinnic anhydride, mercaptans, alcohols and for alkylation of benzene. Pentamer can be used as a synthetic base oil, a refrigeration fluid and as an intermediate for further reaction (e.g. sulphonation).
