Cyclopentane 99+%, CAS 287-92-3

Cyclopentane, also known as “pentamethylene”, is a kind of naphthenic hydrocarbon with molecular formula C5H10. CAS Number is 287-92-3.Molecular weight 70.13. Flammable liquid. Melting point – 94.4 ℃, boiling point 49.3 ℃, relative density 0.7460, refractive index 1.4068. Soluble in alcohol, ether and hydrocarbon, insoluble in water. Cyclopentane is not a planar ring, but has two kinds of conformation: envelope conformation and semi-chair conformation. The carbon-carbon-carbon bond angle is close to 109 ° 28 ′, the molecular tension is small, and the ring is relatively stable. Cyclopentane is the most potential polyurethane foaming agent to replace CFC-11 refrigerator.

Packaging, storage and transportation

Cyclopentane is usually transported in ISO Tank or in closed iron bucket, with the packaging specification of 16000kg-17000kg/ISO Tank and 150Kg/bucket.

Store cyclopentane in a cool place. Keep the container tightly closed and store in a dry and ventilated place.

Open containers must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

Uses

Cyclopentane is a five-carbon cyclic hydrocarbon that is used as a building block in the production of various chemicals and materials. Some common uses of cyclopentane include:

① Solvents: Cyclopentane is used as a solvent in the paint, adhesive, and resin industries due to its low toxicity, high boiling point, and low flammability.

② Polymerization: Cyclopentane is used as a comonomer in the production of polymers such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polystyrene.

③ Pharmaceuticals: Cyclopentane is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of certain pharmaceuticals and agrichemicals.

④ Refrigerants: Cyclopentane is used as a blowing agent in the production of polyurethane foams and as a refrigerant in mobile air conditioning systems.

⑤ Fragrances: Cyclopentane is used as a raw material in the synthesis of fragrances and flavors.

Cyclopentane is a versatile chemical that is widely used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications.
