n-Pentane Pure is a 99%, high-purity form of liquid n-pentane. n-Pentane, commonly called pentane, is a straight-chain alkane with the molecular formula C5H12. It is a colorless, flammable liquid known for its excellent solvent properties. n-Pentane Pure has a gasolinelike odor, a low boiling point of 36°C, and a flash point of below −40°C. Because of its high purity and low contaminants, it provides unrivaled consistency and uniformity. Its nonpolar nature allows n-Pentane Pure to effectively dissolve other nonpolar materials, including fats, oils, and certain organic compounds. This attribute makes it particularly valuable in extraction and purification processes, including the extraction of essential oils, food flavorings, and pharmaceuticals. n-Pentane Pure is also used for a wide range of industrial processing, chemical synthesis, and laboratory procedures, including gas chromatography, as well as a blowing agent for manufacturing polystyrene and polyethylene foam.
