Tag n-Pentane Manufacturer

Terminal demand for pentane is slowing, and there is a risk of overcapacity in the industry.

Pentane is a fine chemical product. There are three isomers. They are pentane, isopentane and cyclopentane. They are mainly used in polyurethane foam, EPS foaming agent and new type hydrocarbon refrigerant in air conditioning and refrigerator. The upstream of pentane industry chain is the by-product from cracking of natural gas condensate, oil field light hydrocarbon and light naphtha ethylene plant, and the main product of C5 is cyclopentadiene. The downstream is the application market, mainly focusing on polyurethane foaming agent, EPS foaming agent, linear low density polyethylene solvent and other fields.
Due to the different structures and properties of n-pentane, isopentane and cyclopentane, their application fields are quite different. N-pentane can be isomerized to produce isopentane, and can also be used as foaming agent. It can also be used in low temperature thermometer, artificial ice, anesthetic, and pentanol synthesis. Isopentane is an important admixture to improve octane number of gasoline, and is also an important raw material for isoprene production. It can also be dehydrogenated, chlorinated, and hydrolyzed to produce isopentene, isoprene, and isopentanol, which are organically synthesized Cyclopentane is mainly used in organic synthesis and intermediate of fine chemicals, and its market demand is low at present.

According to the comprehensive market research and investment analysis report of pentane industry in China 2020-2024 issued by China Industrial Research Center It shows that the pentane terminal market is home appliances, building materials, packaging and other industries. In recent years, the above three industries present different development trends. Among them, due to the rapid development of package delivery industry, the demand of packaging industry is strong; however, the development of home appliances and construction industry is relatively slow, and the demand for pentane is declining. In general, in recent years, the pentane demand presents a fluctuating growth state, and the growth rate is slow. In 2019, the pentane industry demand in China is 273000 tons, and the market scale reaches 1.83 billion yuan, of which isopentane is the largest, accounting for 45%; followed by n-pentane, accounting for 39%; cyclopentane and other products, accounting for 16%.
The raw materials for pentane production are mainly in the hands of petrochemical refineries. The representative enterprises are PetroChina, Sinopec, etc. with their own raw material advantages, they have a high market share. Pentane production enterprises need to purchase raw materials from large petrochemical refineries for processing, so considering transportation conditions and costs, most pentane production enterprises are located near large petrochemical refineries, mainly in Shandong Province, and East China currently accounts for more than 50% of the production capacity. At present, the leading enterprise of pentane production in China is Junyuan Petroleum Group.

n-Pentane can be used to prepare isopentane and can also be used as extractant. Foaming agent of polystyrene, lubricant of liquid air. It is used for low temperature thermometers, making ice, anesthetics and synthesizing amyl alcohol. Isopentane is a mixture to improve the octane number of “lead-free” gasoline. It is also the raw material for isoprene production. Isopentene and isoprene can be prepared by dehydrogenation, and isoamyl alcohol can be obtained by chlorination and hydrolysis. When the content of n-Pentane in the product is more than 95% (WT), it can be used as the desorption agent of molecular sieve dewaxing process. The product can meet the requirements of different foaming degrees after blending with different proportions of isopentane. It can be used as an efficient foaming agent for expandable polystyrene.

Overall, in recent years, pentane demand shows a fluctuating growth state, with a slow growth rate. In 2021, the demand of China’s pentane industry is 363,000 tons, and the market scale reaches 1.96 billion yuan, of which the scale of Isopentane is the largest, accounting for 46%; n-Pentane is the second, accounting for 40%; Cyclopentane and other products account for 14%.

There are three isomers of pentane, namely n-pentane, isopentane and neopentane. The physical and chemical properties of the three substances are different, so they can be separated and purified by physical methods.

At present, the annual consumption of pentane in China is nearly 66 KT, of which the consumption of EPS pentane foaming agent is about 30 kt / A, accounting for 45% of the total consumption; the consumption of pentane for polyurethane is 33 kt / A, accounting for 50% of the total consumption; the consumption of pentane carrier solvent of linear low density polyethylene is 3 kt / A, accounting for 5% of the total consumption.

The market size of cyclopentane is estimated to be $242.4 million in 2018 and is expected to reach $335.7 million by 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.7%. According to the in-depth study report on the global and Chinese Cyclopentane industry in 2018-2023 issued by New World industry research, the market growth can be attributed to the increased use of cyclopentane in residential and commercial refrigerator applications.

Isopentane is a mixture to improve the octane number of “lead-free” gasoline. It is also the raw material for isoprene production. Isopentene and isoprene can be prepared by dehydrogenation, and isoamyl alcohol can be obtained by chlorination and hydrolysis.

Pentane is an alkane with the formula C 5 H 12. As a hydrocarbon, it can undergo hydrocarbon combustion which gives off heat. Traces of pentane can be found in raw natural gas, which is a type of fossil fuel. This pentane is usually removed before being shipped to customers as an energy currency.

N-PENTANE is incompatible with strong oxidizers. It is also incompatible with strong acids, alkalis, and oxygen. Mixtures with chlorine gas have produced explosions. It will attack some forms of plastics, rubber, and coatings. (NTP, 1992)

General pentane (hereafter, pentane) is a colorless, volatile and flammable liquid with a sweet or gasoline-like odor. Pentane consists of three isomers: n-pentane (the most important isomer), isopentane, and neopentane. n-Pentane is a constituent of crude oil and a component of the condensate from natural gas production.
