Global N Pentane Market to Incur Steady Growth During 2018-2028

Global n-Pentane Market: Definition and Introduction Pentane is an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent that is classified as pure normal and isopentane. N-pentane is a normal aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent with the molecular formula C 5 H 12 . It is a straight chain of five carbons and twelve hydrogen atoms. N-pentane is a constituent of crude oil and a compound that condensates from natural gas production. It is also referred to as amyl hydride and pentane. The chemical properties of n-pentane include better volatility, relatively higher purity, low odour, fast evaporation rate and narrow boiling range, among others. Moreover, in terms of physical properties, n-pentane is a colourless liquid with a sweet and gasoline odour. In addition, it is a liquid that is insoluble in water, volatile and flammable. In terms of applications, n-pentane is primarily applicable as an intermediate in polymerisation reactions, as a propellant in aerosols, in low-temperature thermometers
