Normal unbranched pentane is an alkaline with five carbon atoms with the formula C5H12. Pentanes are commonly used as components of some fuels which are often employed as speciality solvents in the laboratory. Normal pentane is the most important isomer of pentane. In appearance is a colourless flammable, water-insoluble and a very volatile liquid obtained from petroleum by distillation.

In the industry pentane is used mainly as a primary blowing agent in the manufacturing of polystyrene foam. It is used because of its lower cost compared to other chemicals, low boiling point and relative safety when in use. Geothermal power stations have been using pentane in binary cycle systems wherein warm geothermal water is brought to the surface and passed through a heat exchanger containing pentane. Because of its much lower boiling point compared to water, the pentane heats up the binary fluid causing the turbines to spin. The advantage out here is that the pentane can be re-used once it condenses which is why it is pumped back into the system. Normal pentane is also used as a solvent and in varied industrial applications such as pharmaceutical, petrochemical, paints & coatings.

In terms of physical properties, pentane shows a boiling point in the range of 9 to 36 °C which is the result of its more branched isomers. Pentane isomers also burn with oxygen breaking down into carbon dioxide and water.
