The demand for Pentanes is high. The reason for this is that this raw material is particularly important in insulation materials for construction and refrigeration appliances. As a foaming agent in Polyurethane (PU) and Polystyrene (EPS, XPS) systems, it ensures excellent insulation performance. Efficient insulation leads to cost savings and contributes to CO2 reduction. The demand for high-quality Pentanes is therefore high - we at Haltermann Carless are familiar with the market requirements and can offer you tangible solutions. Read more about our new hydrogenation plant and the benefits in the following article.

High capacity demand for Pentanes

Pentanes show their performance in various applications. As blowing agents, they are used in the production of insulating materials for the construction industry, for the insulation of refrigerators, but also for foaming shower gel in the cosmetics industry or in catalytic processes. Market requirements and capacity needs are therefore high. 

Purchasers of Pentanes are often faced with the following questions:

  • Where can I obtain customised Pentane blends?
  • Can I get all three Pentane isomers - n-Pentane, iso-Pentane and Cyclopentane – from one source?
  • Who can supply me with consistently high qualities?
  • Which delivery promise guarantees me high reliability?
  • Where are high capacities available?

 

New hydrogenation plant for the production of Pentane offers high Cyclopentane capacity volumes

Having been familiar with the Pentane business for decades, Haltermann Carless has always found solutions for increasing demands and changing market situations. By investing in a hydrogenation plant, we can supply you even better with Pentanes, accompany the global market growth and help you to position your company strongly for the future.

 

Advantages at a glance

We deliberately chose our production site Speyer, Germany, as the ideal location in our Haltermann Carless Group with regard to our tailor-made supply chain concepts and its excellent infrastructure. These site benefits enable us to supply you reliably in Europe and worldwide. The quality or our Pentanes are ensured by multiple tests from the incoming raw materials, through the in-process controls to the final inspection by our laboratories on site

Excursus: New hydrogenation plant for the production of Pentanes 

In addition to Pentanes, we can also produce Middle Distillates in the new hydrogenation plant. In the hydrogenation process the raw materials are heated, passed over a catalyst, and processed into products ready for sale. 

The hydrogenation plant gives us, as a company, a high degree of production flexibility so that we can react in a targeted manner to your and global market demands. In addition, it allows us to use a greater variety of raw materials and thus to procure those more easily. We have placed special emphasis on sustainable production processes that do not generate waste or waste water.
