New: With our ISCC PLUS certified mass balanced Pentanes we actively support our customers in advancing towards a sustainable circular economy.
n-Pentane is a chain-like hydrocarbon from the alkane group with the chemical formula C5H12. It is the unbranched representative of the Pentane isomers.
More technical information
iso-Pentane is the first branched, liquid hydrocarbon or paraffin. This group of substances is also called alkanes. The iso-Pentane has a chemical formula of C5H12.
More technical information
Cyclopentane is the first ring-shaped, naturally occurring hydrocarbon. It is present in very small quantities in crude oil, the most common source being naphtha from crackers. The chemical formula for this cycloalkane, or naphthene, is C5H10.

Ternary Pentane blends and their benefits for the industry
Pentane blowing agents are widely used in the industry. Depending on the isomer used, the performance and characteristics of the foams may vary significantly. Haltermann Carless has explored the possibility of creating blends made from all three isomers n-, iso- and Cyclopentanes. The results of these ternary Pentane blends look promising and might offer additional benefits to the PU (polyurethane) and PIR (polyisocyanurate) industry.
Highly-efficient insulating foams
Insulation materials, such as Polyurethane (PU), Extruded Polystyrene (XPS), and Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), owe their exceptional properties to Pentane blowing agents. These agents play a crucial role during the manufacturing process, enhancing insulation performance and dimensional stability. Depending on the isomers used the product features can be amended to individual requirements.
Polyurethane (PU) foam:
Cyclopentanes ensure excellent insulation performance with low insulation thickness in Polyurethane (PU) foam production. This is due to the fact that cell gas has a lower heat-conductivity than the ambient air and therefore remains partially in the foam cells of the PU. This provides flexibility in construction and makes PU foams with Cyclopentanes ideally suited for household appliances like refrigerators and freezers, historic buildings as well as other various construction applications such as thermal and pipe insulation.
Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) and Expanded Polystyrene (EPS):
In the manufacturing of XPS and EPS for the construction and packaging industries, our Pentane S grade offers a versatile product formulation. Tailored to meet the specific needs of your project, our Pentane S ensures optimal insulation while maintaining the required dimensional stability.
High-purity Pentanes for Cosmetic & Bodycare
Enhance your cosmetic formulations with our high purity iso-Pentanes, carefully manufactured to meet the exacting standards of the Cosmetics industry. Our iso-Pentanes are a key ingredient in self-foaming shower gels and shaving foams, enhancing the user
experience with its excellent qualities. Innovative formulation: iso-Pentanes dissolved in the cosmetic products are activated when exposed to the heat of water and the skin. This results in finepored and stable foam that is particularly easy to spread. Compliance with cosmetic standardsWe understand the critical importance of adhering to stringent cosmetic requirements.
Our high purity Pentanes are formulated with utmost care to meet and exceed industry standards, ensuringthe safety and quality of your cosmetic formulations.
Pentanes for Catalytic Processes
The chemical industry uses Pentanes in various catalytic processes. As hydrocarbon-based solvents they play an important role in diverse applications, primarily contributing to the production of Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE).
Our Pentanes are carefully developed to meet the highest standards. They ensure low impurities and consistent quality that are essential for sustainable and stabilising production processes. As a result, Pentanes contribute to the overall quality of your end product.
