High-Purity Pentane Portfolio – Reliable, Efficient, and Sustainable
Our Pentane range is developed to deliver consistent quality and optimized performance across multiple industrial applications. With high purity levels and narrow boiling ranges, these Pentanes ensure reliability, efficiency, and environmental compliance in every use.
1. Product Overview
We offer a complete series of Pentane grades designed to meet diverse process requirements:
| Product | Purity (%) | Boiling Range (°C) | Flash Point (°C) | Key Applications |
|---|
| n-Pentane 99% | ≥99.0 | 35–36 | -40 | Polyurethane rigid foam blowing agent, solvent |
| Isopentane 99% | ≥99.0 | 27–29 | -51 | Quick-foaming systems, refrigerant blends |
| Pentane Blend 80/20 (n-/iso-) | ≥99.0 | 30–35 | -45 | Balanced foam expansion, insulation boards |
| Pentane Blend 50/50 (n-/iso-) | ≥99.0 | 28–34 | -47 | General-purpose polyurethane systems |
| Pentane Blend (Cyclo/Isopentane) | ≥99.0 | 28–37 | -40 | Low-conductivity, CFC-free insulation foam |
What are the three types of pentane?
Those three isomers are n-Pentane, 2-methylbutane (or Isopentane), and neopentane (or 2-ethylpropane or dimethyl propane)
2. Key Technical Features
