1. Product Overview
Cyclopentane (Low Thermal Conductivity Type) is a high-efficiency hydrocarbon blowing agent developed for polyurethane (PU) rigid foam insulation systems. Compared with traditional blowing agents, it provides superior insulation performance, environmental protection, and process safety. It is an ideal alternative to CFC and HCFC agents, aligning with global environmental trends.
Main advantages include:
low thermal conductivity for enhanced insulation efficiency;
zero ozone depletion potential (ODP = 0);
low global warming potential (GWP);
and stable, safe, and efficient supply and transportation.
2. Technical Advantages
First, its low thermal conductivity delivers excellent insulation performance. The product’s optimized molecular design and uniform foam-cell structure help reduce heat transfer, significantly improving the thermal insulation capacity of polyurethane foam. It has been successfully used in refrigerators, freezers, and construction panels to help products achieve higher energy efficiency standards.
Second, it offers outstanding environmental compatibility. Cyclopentane contains no chlorine or fluorine and therefore has zero ozone depletion potential. Its greenhouse gas impact is minimal, and it meets the latest global environmental protection regulations. The product supports industries in achieving sustainability and carbon reduction targets.
Third, it is cost-effective and highly compatible with existing foaming processes. Raw materials are abundant, production technology is mature, and it can directly replace traditional systems without major equipment modifications. Compared with imported fluorinated blowing agents, it offers more stable costs and shorter delivery times.
Fourth, it ensures operational safety when handled properly. As a flammable hydrocarbon, Cyclopentane should be used in well-ventilated, explosion-proof environments. Standardized closed systems, anti-static measures, and professional storage and transportation management can effectively minimize risks. Industrial users have already accumulated mature experience in its safe and stable application.
3. Application Fields
Cyclopentane (Low Thermal Conductivity Type) is suitable for a wide range of polyurethane rigid foam applications that require both high insulation and environmental performance.
In the household appliance sector, it is mainly used as a blowing agent in refrigerator and freezer insulation systems, improving energy efficiency and reducing power consumption.
In the building materials sector, it is widely used in wall and roof insulation panels. Its low thermal conductivity helps buildings meet increasingly strict energy-saving standards.
In the cold chain and logistics sector, it is used in the insulation layers of refrigerated trucks and cold storage equipment, effectively reducing heat loss and improving temperature stability.
In the industrial sector, it is used for the insulation of pipes, tanks, and other equipment that require long-term thermal stability and durable foam structures.
The product formulation can be customized to meet different application requirements, ensuring consistent performance across diverse foaming systems.
4. Market Potential
With the global elimination of fluorinated blowing agents, hydrocarbon-based alternatives are gaining rapid adoption. Cyclopentane (Low Thermal Conductivity Type) has become one of the most promising options thanks to its combination of high energy efficiency, low environmental impact, cost-effectiveness, and reliable availability.
Under the global carbon neutrality trend, demand for sustainable insulation materials continues to rise. Cyclopentane (Low Thermal Conductivity Type) will play a vital role in next-generation insulation systems for refrigeration, construction, and industrial applications.
