CAS №: 287-92-3
ЕС №: 206-016-6
Molecular formula: C5H10
Other name: Pentamethylene
Cyclopentane is colorless liquid with a characteristic odor kerosene is insoluble in water, miscible with organic solvents. Cyclopentane is also contained in the oil.
Use:
Cyclopentane is used in the manufacture of synthetic resins and rubber adhesives and also as a blowing agent in the manufacture of polyurethane insulating foam, as found in many domestic appliances such as refrigerators and freezers, replacing environmentally damaging alternatives such as CFC-11 and HCFC-141b.
