Description
Cyclopentane is used in the manufacture of synthetic resins and
rubber adhesives and also as a blowing agent in the manufacture of
polyurethane insulating foam, as found in many domestic appliances
such as refrigerators and freezers, replacing environmentally
damaging alternatives such as CFC**1 and HCFC***1b. More advanced
technologies, such as computer hard drives and outerspace equipment
employ multiply alkylated cyclopentane (MAC) lubricants because of
their extremely low volatility.Â
