N PENTANE (Pentane) is used principally as a blowing agent in foam production, as a propellant in aerosols and as reaction media for polymerisation processes. It is used in the laboratory as solvents that can be conveniently and rapidly evaporated.
The letter n may be used in front of pentane in order to differentiate the normal straight-chain pentane from its isomers.
