Product Name: N-Pentane
CAS No: 109-66-0
Chemical Formula：C5H12
CAS 109-66-0 N-pentane is an organic compound with the chemical formula of C5H12. It is mainly used as solvent, gas chromatography reference liquid, anesthetic, and also can be used to manufacture artificial ice, anesthetic, synthesis of pentanol, isopentane, etc.
Pentane Linear Formula is, CH3(CH2)3CH3
The Pentane Molecular Formula is, C5H12
Pentane Chemical Formula is, C5H12
The name can refer to any of three structural isomers, or a combination of them; however, the IUPAC name of pentane only refers to the n-pentane isomer; the other two are known as isopentane (Methyl butane) and neopentane, respectively (Dimethylpropane).
Applications of Pentane (N-Pentane)
1. Blowing Agent: The Cornerstone of Energy-Saving Insulation
As the preferred blowing agent for rigid polyurethane (PU) foams, n-pentane vaporizes rapidly during foam curing to form uniform, micro-sized cells. This creates foam with exceptional thermal insulation performance, widely used in:
- Refrigerator/freezer linings and HVAC insulation systems
- Building exterior wall panels and roof insulation
- Cold chain logistics packaging and automotive thermal partsGneebio's high-purity n-pentane ensures minimal foam defects, boosting product durability and energy efficiency for end-users.
2. Premium Solvent for Precision Processes
Its excellent solubility with organic compounds and low residue make it ideal for:
- Analytical chemistry: Mobile phase in gas chromatography and liquid extraction procedures
- Industrial cleaning: Degreasing of precision metal parts and electronic circuit boards
- Food & pharmaceutical extraction: Safely extracting edible oils, plant extracts, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)
3. High-Octane Fuel Additive & Clean Fuel Source
- Blended into gasoline to improve octane ratings and reduce engine knocking, enhancing fuel combustion efficiency
- Used as a clean-burning fuel for laboratory burners, portable camping stoves, and outdoor heating equipment, with low sulfur content and minimal emissions
4. Chemical Intermediate for Petrochemical Synthesis
As a critical feedstock, n-pentane is converted via catalytic cracking into high-value petrochemicals:
- Pentene and pentadiene: Monomers for synthetic rubber (SIS, SBS) and plastic production
- Valeraldehyde and valeric acid: Raw materials for fragrances, flavors, and fine chemical manufacturing
