  • Isoprene Feedstock
    Product Stewardship Summary Isoprene Feedstock This product stewardship summary is intended to give general information about the chemical or categories of chemicals listed in this document. It is not intended to provide an in-depth discussion of all health and safety information related to this chemical or category. Additional information on this chemical or category of chemicals is available through the applicable Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Please consult the MSDS before use of the chemical. The product stewardship summary does not supplant or replace required regulatory and/or legal communication documents. Chemical Identity: Isoprene Feedstock (IPFS), also known as C5 diolefin, crude isoprene or C5 Amylene, is a colorless, volatile liquid. Isoprene Feedstock is a co-product of ethylene production. It is produced at the Cedar Bayou and Sweeny plants in Texas. The Isoprene Feedstock product from Sweeny is called C5 Amylene. CAS Number: 68514-39-6 CAS name: Naphtha, (Petroleum), Light Steam-Cracked, Isoprene-Rich Synonyms：Isoprene Feedstock; Isoprene C5 Diolefin Stream; C5 Amylene Product Uses: There are no consumer uses of Isoprene Feedstock. Typically, Isoprene Feedstock is fed to an extraction unit to isolate and recover isoprene and piperylene. Isoprene is used to make polyisoprene synthetic rubber for a wide variety of applications including tires, baby bottle nipples and medical equipment. It can also be a component of film and coating formulations. Piperylene is used to produce copolymerization elastomers, petroleum resins, curing agents, pesticides and perfumes. The remaining components in Isoprene Feedstock, mainly C5 paraffins, are often utilized as a gasoline blending stock. Physical/Chemical Properties: Isoprene Feedstock is classified by the U.S.
