Description

Application
Mainly used as a blowing agent for producing polyurethane and other polymer foams particularly in insulation materials and refrigeration applications. It is also used as a solvent and as a chemical intermediate.

Purpose
Its low boiling point and suitable thermal properties make it useful for creating closed-cell foam structures and providing effective thermal insulation.

General Description
Cyclopentane is a colorless highly flammable volatile cyclic hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C5H10. It is a liquid at room temperature with a mild petroleum-like odor.
