Pentane is a hydrocarbon solvent used in a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals, paints and coatings, and adhesives. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a low boiling point and a high vapor pressure. Pentane is a non-polar solvent, meaning it is not soluble in water, but is soluble in many organic compounds. It is also used as a fuel additive, as it increases the octane rating of gasoline. Pentane is produced by the fractional distillation of crude oil, and is also available in a variety of grades, including n-pentane, isopentane, and neopentane. It is also available in a variety of blends, such as pentane/hexane blends, which are used in the production of polymers. The pentane market is highly competitive, with a number of major players, including ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, Chevron, and Total. Other companies in the market include BASF, Dow, Eastman Chemical, and LyondellBasell. Show Less Read more
