n-Pentane 95% / 99% CAS No. 109-66-0 Industrial & Laboratory Grade
n-Pentane, available in 95% and 99% concentrations, is produced via advanced fractionation technology from natural gas liquids or petroleum refining streams. It features excellent volatility, low boiling point, and exceptional solvency for non-polar compounds. As a key aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent, it is widely used in laboratory applications, industrial processes, and as a blowing agent in polymer production. Its high purity and consistent performance make it ideal for critical applications requiring precise solvent properties. Each batch is rigorously tested using GC analysis to ensure consistent quality meeting industrial and laboratory standards.
Scope of Application
· Used as a laboratory solvent for extraction, chromatography, and chemical synthesis applications;
· Acts as a blowing agent in the production of expandable polystyrene (EPS) and polyurethane foams;
· Functions as a solvent in adhesive formulations, particularly for rubber-based adhesives;
· Widely applied in the pharmaceutical industry for extraction of active ingredients and reaction media;
· Serves as a component in specialty solvents for cleaning and degreasing applications;
· Used as a reference standard and calibration material in analytical chemistry;
· Acts as a diluent and carrier in aerosol propellant formulations.
Product Features
n-Pentane is manufactured using continuous fractionation and purification technologies, ensuring consistent quality and precise boiling range control. The product features exceptional volatility with a boiling point of 36°C, enabling easy removal from processed materials. Its low surface tension and excellent solvency for oils, fats, and non-polar compounds make it ideal for extraction processes. As a hydrocarbon with no chlorine content, it offers environmental advantages over chlorinated solvents. Available in multiple purity grades to suit different application requirements, from industrial foaming to high-purity analytical work. Advanced GC analysis is employed to guarantee product purity and precise hydrocarbon composition, with strict control over sulfur content and non-volatile residues.
