Isopentane use
It can be used as solvent for catalyst in polyethylene production, foaming agent for expandable polystyrene, foaming agent for polyurethane foam system, deasphalting solvent, etc.
When used as a solvent, it has the same effect as pentane, hexane, heptane, etc., and its solubility is slightly worse than pentane. The product has high octane number and can be used as fuel for automobiles and aircraft.
