Cyclopentane 99% CAS NO. 287-92-3 Industrial & Blowing Agent Grade
Scope of Application
· This product is widely used as a primary blowing agent in the production of rigid polyurethane foam for insulation panels, refrigerators, freezers, and construction materials, where its optimal boiling point enables efficient foam expansion and superior thermal insulation properties.
· It serves as a solvent in pharmaceutical synthesis, specialty chemical manufacturing, and polymerization processes requiring a non-polar, volatile reaction medium with excellent solvency for organic compounds.
· It is employed as a refrigerant component in hydrocarbon-based refrigeration systems, offering an environmentally sustainable alternative to CFCs and HFCs with zero ozone depletion potential and minimal global warming impact.
· It can be used in aerosol propellant formulations where low toxicity and environmental compatibility are required, including personal care and industrial spray products.
· It finds applications in laboratory settings as a solvent for extraction and analytical procedures, as well as in the synthesis of various organic compounds.
Product Features
This Cyclopentane is produced via fractional distillation of petroleum fractions followed by advanced purification processes, ensuring consistent quality, high purity, and batch-to-batch stability. With a purity exceeding 99% (verified by GC analysis), it offers reliable and predictable performance in demanding industrial applications. The product features an optimal boiling point of 49°C, enabling efficient foam expansion in polyurethane systems while maintaining safe processing characteristics. It has a very low flash point of -37°C, requiring careful handling with appropriate safety measures. The product exhibits zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and negligible global warming potential (GWP), making it an environmentally sustainable choice. It is insoluble in water but completely miscible with most organic solvents including alcohols, ethers, ketones, and hydrocarbons. Advanced analytical instruments including Gas Chromatography (GC) are employed to ensure the product meets stringent industrial standards with strict control of hydrocarbon impurities and moisture content.
Packaging and Transportation
· The products are packaged in new galvanized iron drums, stainless steel drums, or ISO tanks with appropriate grounding connections to prevent static discharge.
· Customized packaging options, including smaller containers for laboratory use, are available upon customer request to accommodate specific application requirements.
Safety and Storage
· Store in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Storage temperature should not exceed 30°C, with proper ventilation to prevent accumulation of explosive vapor concentrations.
· Keep container tightly sealed and properly grounded when handling to prevent static discharge. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, halogens, and all sources of ignition.
· The storage area should be equipped with appropriate fire-fighting equipment (dry powder, carbon dioxide, foam) and spill containment materials.
