The Characteristics and Applications of Pentane

Pentane, an industrial chemical, is colorless and smells like mint. Its boiling point is 36.1¡æ and it dissolves in the organic solvents such as ethanol, diethyl ether, benzene, chloroform and so on. Pentane suppliers usually sell it to the companies in the industries of fuel, foaming and polyethylene.

Pentane suppliers enjoys the characteristic of being inflammable when meeting the open fire or being heated. And it reacts so violently with the oxidizer that it will burn. This feature makes it possible for the pentane to be applied as a new fuel so as to solve the problem of resource shortage. Pentane is of high heating value and it is safe and convenient to use as the fuel. The combustion products of pentane are only carbon dioxide and water, which means that the combustion process is free of poisonous gas and contaminative elements. In addition, the pentane manufacturers quote low prices for it, making pentane suitable to be used as a substitute for the conventional fuel. This could lead to the improvements of the citizens' living standards in the areas that are short of fuels.

The second application of Cenospheres is that it is applied by the pentane suppliers as the physical foaming agent in the process of foam making. Different from the chemical foaming agents, pentane does not react chemically with other materials. The pentane gasifies when heated and as its boiling point is low, it takes less time to complete the foaming process than other chemical agents. And according to the researches, the ozone depleting potential and global-warming potential of pentane are the lowest among the foaming agents, which make pentane the most eco-friendly agent. The emission of greenhouse gases could be significantly reduced if the manufacturers commonly use pentane as the foaming agent. This greatly helps the pentane suppliers develop the market in the foaming field.

And due to the environmental friendliness of pentane, it is also used in refrigerant producing. The traditional refrigerant Freon tends to damage the ozonosphere which protects the earth from the ultraviolet rays. Presently, pentane is gradually replacing Freon in refrigerant making.

Another application of Activated bleaching earth is being used by the pentane manufacturers in polyethylene making. As pentane emits no carbon dioxide and is eco-friendly, it is widely applied in the high-pressure polyethylene production process. Pentane could serve as catalyst to trigger the polymerization of the raw material, which will lower the temperature and reduce pressure in the process of reaction.

As pentane is eco-friendly, the market's requirement of pentane will become greater and greater and the pentane manufacturers will surely have bright prospects in this field.
