Description
Description
Pentane is a straight chain hydrocarbon that is non-polar highly volatile, and flammable. Typically used as a laboratory solvent for
organic compounds. It has a very low boiling point and freezing point and is often used in liquid chromatography. Care should be used in handling this product due to its low boiling point, it's container can become pressurized and risk explosion. Store in a cool, dry place.
Applications
Applications
Pentane is used as a solvent in many nonpolar media. It is relatively inexpensive and used in the lab as an unreactive and easily evaporated solvent. It also finds wide use in liquid chromatography.
Safety and Handling
Safety and Handling
