Cyclopentane Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Pentamethylene
Cyclopentane supplier in Malaysia for rigid polyurethane foam, industrial process and laboratory buyers. Also known as pentamethylene, cyclopentane is a clear, highly volatile cyclic C5 hydrocarbon used where a defined single compound is required rather than a broad hydrocarbon solvent blend.
Commercial selection includes foam blowing-agent grade for closed-cell insulation systems, technical grade for process and solvent duty, and high-purity material for controlled synthesis or analytical work. Purity, water, evaporation residue and related hydrocarbon limits should be matched to the buyer's process specification.
The largest industrial use is as a physical blowing agent in rigid polyurethane foam for appliance insulation, cold rooms and insulated construction panels. Cyclopentane is not n-pentane or another open-chain pentane isomer, even though those products can appear in nearby foam and hydrocarbon applications.
Send the required grade, application, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. A 148 kg commercial pack is a known option, while current availability, container format, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Cyclopentane grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cyclopentane foam blowing-agent grade | clear, colourless volatile liquid | — | Physical blowing agent for closed-cell rigid polyurethane insulation foam used in appliance panels, insulated construction panels and related foam systems that specify cyclopentane. | A 148 kg commercial pack is a known option. Container format and current availability are confirmed with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep containers closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources and strong oxidisers. Control vapour during transfer and follow the safety data sheet for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about cyclopentane
Is cyclopentane the same as n-pentane?
No. Cyclopentane is a five-membered ring with formula C5H10, while n-pentane is an open-chain C5 hydrocarbon with formula C5H12. Both can be used in foam and solvent applications, but their physical behaviour and specifications differ, so the order should name the required product.
Why is cyclopentane used as a polyurethane foam blowing agent?
Cyclopentane vaporises during foam production and helps form the closed-cell structure that gives rigid polyurethane foam its insulation properties. The foam formulation and processing equipment determine the suitable grade and operating conditions.
Which cyclopentane grade should I request?
Foam blowing-agent grade suits rigid polyurethane insulation systems. Technical grade covers general process and solvent duty, while high-purity material is selected when water, residue or hydrocarbon impurity limits are tighter. Send the controlling limits with the enquiry.
Is 148 kg packing available for cyclopentane?
A 148 kg commercial pack is recorded as a known option. Current pack format, availability and documentation are confirmed against the required grade and quantity when the quotation is prepared.
What specifications matter when buying cyclopentane?
Buyers commonly state purity, water content, evaporation residue and any limits on related hydrocarbon impurities. Foam users should also provide the approved material specification for their polyurethane system.
What details are needed for a cyclopentane price enquiry?
Provide the grade, application, specification, shipment quantity, delivery location and required documents. Mention the preferred pack size and timing so the quotation covers the complete requirement.
