High-Purity Blowing Agent for EPS & PU: Isopentane/Normal Pentane Blend (40/60)

This high-purity hydrocarbon blend—composed of 40% Isopentane and 60% Normal Pentane—is specifically formulated as a blowing agent for EPS and PU foam applications. It offers excellent volatility, controlled density, and minimal sulfur content, ensuring clean expansion and stable foam structure. The product is manufactured under strict quality protocols and verified by ASTM and gas chromatography methods.

Applications

  • Expandable Polystyrene (EPS) foam production
  • Polyurethane (PU) foam systems
  • Insulation materials requiring low boiling point blowing agents

Advantages

  • Consistent composition: 40% Isopentane / 60% Normalpentane ±2%
  • Low total sulfur: ≤2.0 wt ppm
  • Minimal non-volatile residue: ≤100 wt ppm
  • Optimized density: 0.62 ± 0.01 g/cm³
  • Verified by ASTM D-287, D-5453, D-1353, and D-1364 standards
  • Excellent compatibility with EPS and PU formulations
