General Description

Hydrocarbons, C4-6, C5-rich is a mixture of organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen atoms, with a focus on compounds with 4 to 6 carbon atoms, with an emphasis on those with 5 carbon atoms. These hydrocarbons are commonly found in petroleum and natural gas, and are important components in the production of fuels, plastics, and other industrial products. They are used in a wide range of applications, including as solvents, fuel additives, and raw materials for the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The C5-rich component of this mixture is particularly valuable for its high octane rating and low boiling point, making it suitable for use in gasoline and other high-performance fuels.
