Isopentane

Isopentane is a branched saturated hydrocarbon with five carbon atoms and the chemical formula C5H12. Here is a detailed overview:

Properties:

• Structure: Isopentane has a branched structure, which differentiates it from n-pentane, which has a straight chain. The branched form gives isopentane unique physical properties.

• Physical State: It is a colorless, odorless liquid at room temperature.

• Boiling Point: The boiling point is around 27°C, making it extremely volatile. It will quickly boil and evaporate, especially on warm days.

Applications:

• Coolant: Isopentane is often used with liquid nitrogen to achieve very low temperatures (down to -160°C), which is useful in laboratories and industrial applications.

• Fuel: It is a significant component of natural gasoline and is found in many fuel blends.

• Solvent: Isopentane is also used as a solvent in various chemical processes and syntheses.

Safety:

• Flammability: Isopentane is highly flammable, requiring caution during handling. It is important to avoid exposure to heat or flames and to work in well-ventilated areas.

 

Isopentane can be supplied in Bulk, IBCs, Drums, and Containers, and can also be delivered in a mixture with, for example, isohexane or n-pentane.
