n-Pentane Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Pentane
- Normal Pentane
n-Pentane supplier in Malaysia for foam, industrial process, extraction and laboratory buyers. Also called normal pentane, n-pentane is the straight-chain C5H12 isomer and a clear, highly volatile hydrocarbon used where a defined composition and fast evaporation are required.
Commercial selection includes foam blowing-agent grade, technical material for process solvent or extraction duty, and high-purity grade for laboratory and controlled production work. Assay, isomer composition, water and non-volatile residue are practical buying controls when the grade name is not enough.
n-Pentane is used to expand selected polymer and rigid foam systems and as a rapid-evaporation solvent for oils and organic materials. It is not cyclopentane, isopentane or neopentane, although those separate products may appear in nearby hydrocarbon and blowing-agent specifications.
Send the required grade, isomer specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. A 125 kg commercial pack is a known option, while current availability, container format, documentation and delivery timing 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 n-pentane
Are n-pentane and pentane the same product?
Pentane is commonly used as the short name for n-pentane, the straight-chain isomer at CAS 109-66-0. Because pentane can also describe a broader isomer family in commercial conversation, state n-pentane or normal pentane when the isomer composition matters.
Is n-pentane the same as cyclopentane?
No. n-Pentane is an open-chain hydrocarbon with formula C5H12, while cyclopentane is a ring compound with formula C5H10. Both can appear in foam blowing-agent work, but they are separate materials and should be ordered by the identity approved for the formulation.
Is n-pentane the same as isopentane or neopentane?
No. They share the molecular formula C5H12 but have different carbon structures and physical behaviour. A technical specification should state the required isomer and any permitted limits for the other C5 components.
Which n-pentane grade should I request?
Foam blowing-agent grade is selected for expanded polymer or rigid foam systems. Technical grade suits general solvent and extraction duty, while high-purity material is used for controlled manufacturing, chromatography and analytical work.
Is 125 kg packing available for n-pentane?
A 125 kg commercial pack is recorded as a known option. Current pack format, availability and documentation are confirmed against the required grade and shipment quantity in the quotation.
What details are needed for an n-pentane price enquiry?
Provide the grade, isomer or purity limits, application, shipment quantity, delivery location and required documents. Mention the preferred pack size and timing so the quotation covers the complete requirement.
