How is Pentane used in industry?
Pentane's Role in the Plastics Industry
Pentane as a Blowing Agent
Certain types of plastics are produced as foam materials. Polystyrene (both EPS and XPS) are excellent examples. In order to create foams, manufacturers need some sort of blowing agent. Pentane is that agent.
CAS 109-66-0 Pentane is the primary blowing agent for manufacturing polystyrene beads and granules. It creates the durable and effective cellular structure plastic foams are known for. This cellular structure makes EPS an excellent insulating material.
Pentane as a Solvent and Raw Material
Manufacturers in need of unique solvents might turn to pentane if they need a nonpolar product capable of dissolving polymer resins. A typical application would be shaping plastics. CAS 109-66-0 Pentane is especially effective as a solvent when manufacturing PE and PP.
It is also possible to process pentane in order to turn it into its own specialized chemical. As a raw material, it is generally presented as a chemical with polymer chains that are added to create certain types of plastics. For example, polyethylene manufacturing often includes pentane as a raw material.
