Abstract
As China’s largest n-Pentane producer, we take pride in delivering top-quality products with safety as our utmost priority. Our n-Pentane is available in two packaging options: 200-liter steel drums and ISO tanks. The steel drum option, with a net weight of 125 kg per drum, offers efficient shipping with a 40-foot container holding up to 160 drums (20 metric tonnes) and a 20-foot container holding up to 80 drums (10 metric tonnes). However, due to the low flash point of n-Pentane, drum shipments are limited to the period between October 1 and May 1, when environmental conditions are safer for handling and transport. ISO tank packaging, on the other hand, is available all year round. This article explains our packaging methods, safety protocols, and how we maintain exceptional quality to serve global markets reliably.

Introduction
n-Pentane is a widely used hydrocarbon in various industrial applications. With its unique chemical properties, including a low flash point and high volatility, safe handling and efficient packaging are critical. As a leader in n-Pentane production, our company is committed to ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of quality and safety.
In this article, we will provide an in-depth look at our n-Pentane packaging solutions, the specific details of our steel drum and ISO tank options, and the safety considerations that influence our packaging schedule. Our goal is to offer clear and detailed information that highlights our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.
Packaging Options and Specifications
200-Liter Steel Drums
One of our primary packaging options for n-Pentane is the 200-liter steel drum. Each drum contains a net weight of approximately 125 kg. This method is ideal for customers who require bulk shipments with reliable containment. Here are the key details:
• Capacity per Drum: 200 liters with a net weight of 125 kg
• Container Load Efficiency:
• A 40-foot High Cube (HQ) container can hold up to 160 drums, equating to about 20 metric tonnes of n-Pentane.
• A 20-foot container can accommodate up to 80 drums, equating to about 10 metric tonnes.
This high packing efficiency makes our steel drum option very attractive for large-scale industrial applications and international shipping.

ISO Tank Packaging
For customers who require flexibility and year-round delivery, our ISO tank packaging is the ideal solution. Unlike steel drums, ISO tanks are not limited by seasonal safety concerns and can be supplied throughout the entire year. These tanks are designed to safely store and transport large volumes of n-Pentane while ensuring product integrity and compliance with international safety standards.
Seasonal Safety Considerations
n-Pentane has a low flash point, which means it can ignite easily under high-temperature conditions. To mitigate the risk associated with handling and transportation, we have set a specific schedule for our drum packaging:
• Drum Packaging Availability:
• Available: From October 1 to May 1
• Not Available: From May 1 to October 1
During the summer months, when temperatures are higher and the risk of ignition increases, we exclusively offer ISO tank packaging. This ensures that our customers receive n-Pentane in a form that is safe to transport and handle, without compromising on quality.
Commitment to Quality and Safety
At our company, quality and safety are not just buzzwords—they are the foundation of everything we do. As China’s largest n-Pentane producer, we continuously invest in advanced technologies and rigorous safety protocols. Our commitment to quality ensures that every shipment of n-Pentane meets international standards, while our safety-first approach minimizes risks associated with its inherent volatility.
• Quality Assurance:
We employ state-of-the-art production techniques and strict quality control measures to ensure that every batch of n-Pentane is pure and consistent.
• Safety First:
Our packaging and shipping methods are designed to prevent accidents. By limiting drum shipments to cooler periods and offering ISO tank options year-round, we protect our customers, transport teams, and the environment.
Global Impact and Customer Focus
Our strategic packaging solutions not only enhance safety and quality but also enable us to serve a diverse global market. Whether you are located in Asia, North America, Europe, or elsewhere, our reliable packaging options are tailored to meet your needs.
• For Large-Scale Industrial Users:
Our steel drum packaging offers cost-effective bulk shipping, making it the preferred choice for industries such as polyurethane foam manufacturing, where n-Pentane is used as a blowing agent.
• For Year-Round Operations:
Customers requiring continuous supply can opt for ISO tank packaging, ensuring uninterrupted operations without seasonal constraints.
Our commitment to excellence means that we are always ready to adapt to market demands and regulatory requirements, ensuring that our products remain both safe and high-quality.
