Cyclopentane Uses: It is used to replace freon for refrigerators, freezers and other rigid PU foam foaming agents. It is used as solvent for solvent polymerization of polyisoprene rubber and cellulose ether, instead of Freon used in refrigerator, freezer and other hard PU foam foaming agents. It is also used as a thermal insulation material for refrigerators and freezers and other foaming agents for rigid PU foam.The direct utilization of cyclopentane is mainly concentrated in the field of foaming agent. It can also be used as raw material to prepare Cyclopentanol and cyclopentanone, and can be used as accelerator to form hydrate with other small molecules and water.
