Pentane, n-, CP (Chemically pure) contains a minimum of 95% n-Pentane. It is a volatile organic compound and an alkane. n-Pentane appears as a clear colorless liquid with a petroleum-like odor. It is used for its high volatility, high purity and low odour. Flash point, -40 °C (refers to pure substance) ; Ignition temperature, 285 °C ; Melting Point, -129.7 °C ; Vapor pressure, 585.9 hPa.

Chemically and physically, n-Pentane behaves very similarly to Isopentane. Its boiling point is higher (35 °C). Pentane, n-, CP (Chemically pure)  occurs in volatile petroleum fractions(gasoline) and as a constituent of petroleum ether.

In addition, Pentane is a straight chain alkane consisting of 5 carbon atoms. It has a role as a non-polar solvent and a refrigerant. It is a volatile organic compound and an alkane. n-Pentane is a pentane isomer with straight chain normal structure. It is a clear, colorless solution with a mild and gasoline-like odor. n-Pentane is a low-boiling solvent, which greatly increases the safety demands to work with it.

Package (Pentane, n-, CP):

• Steel drum, 125 kg;
• Isotank.

Normal Pentane is used in consumer merchandise such as spot lifters, cleaners and foaming shave gels and in commercial products such as a blowing agent for expanded polystyrene (foam) insulation. It may also be used as a solvent (extra pure grade) in laboratory, chemical analysis, and other settings where a highly volatile non-polar solvent is needed.

Product Applications

In addition to the above mentioned, Normal Pentane (Pentane) is used principally as a blowing agent in foam production, as a propellant in aerosols and as reaction media for polymerisation processes. It is also used in the laboratory as solvents that can be conveniently and rapidly evaporated.

Highest quality 99+% n-Pentane. Pentanes are relatively inexpensive and are the most volatile liquid alkanes at room temperature, so they are often used in the laboratory as solvents that can be conveniently and rapidly evaporated.

However, because of their nonpolarity and lack of functionality, they dissolve only nonpolar and alkyl-rich compounds. Pentanes are miscible with most common nonpolar solvents such as chlorocarbons, aromatics, and ethers. They are often used in liquid chromatography.
