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.
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.
