Description

Isopentylcyclopentane CAS NO 1005-68-1 is a branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon belonging to the cyclopentane derivative family. This specialty chemical is valued for its unique combination of volatility and solvency properties, making it a versatile intermediate and performance additive. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance, polymer, and specialty chemical synthesis sectors for its ability to modify physical characteristics and act as a reaction medium.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: Used as a high-volatility solvent and carrier for aromatic compounds, contributing to the controlled release of scents in perfumes, air fresheners, and cosmetic formulations.
• Polymer and Resin Modification: Acts as a plasticizer or processing aid to alter the flexibility, viscosity, and flow properties of polymers and synthetic resins during manufacturing.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a building block or reaction medium in organic synthesis for producing more complex specialty chemicals, including lubricant additives and surfactants.
• Specialty Solvents and Cleaning Formulations: Employed as a component in precision cleaning agents and degreasers for industrial equipment, where its high volatility ensures minimal residue.
• Fuel and Lubricant Additives: Investigated for use as an additive to modify the combustion characteristics of fuels or the viscosity index of lubricants.
• Research and Development: Utilized in laboratory settings as a reference standard or a novel solvent for experimental chemistry and material science research.

Quality Control

Our Isopentylcyclopentane is produced under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. While specific grades can be customized, our standard material is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Infrared Spectroscopy (IR). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flames. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential concentration changes.
