Talk:Cyclopentane

C PENTANE

"C PENTANE" appears in large letters on the back of refrigerators in the United States. So I added this name to allow laypeople to find the correct chemical. Nick Beeson (talk) 18:30, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the future I'd search for and reference something like this. It took a while but I found a journal article from 1981 that used the c-Pentane abbreviation... the first two pages of google only had a datasheet from LG Chemicals with enough errors to be suspect, and a photo from Adobe stock that looked as though someone copied the text from this article, although it was a picture of C PENTANE on the back of a fridge. --A Shortfall Of Gravitas (talk) 15:06, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No Specific Use?

This article states that Cyclopentane has "no specific use" and "in principle, it could be used as a refrigerant", however cyclopentane is currently in use as a refrigerant in household ice machines. There should be a removal of 'no specific use'. 2A02:C7E:3212:B000:50E:A1E5:C0A5:50F1 (talk) 09:59, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I second this. I found this page because my new freezer uses it and I was wondering what it was. 149.137.167.204 (talk) 08:58, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My GE refrigerator label clearly states “Case/door insulation: cyclopentane gas” 108.18.113.12 (talk) 00:28, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Cyclopentane is not typically used as a refrigerant, but rather as a blowing agent, e.g. in fridge insulation. I've updated the article to clarify this. Preimage (talk) 12:22, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
