Sub-Product

C₅ Dienes Crude is a mixture of C₅ Components rich in Cyclopentadiene, Piperylene and Isoprene. It originates from high temperature Cracking of Petroleum fractions and is separated by Distillation of Benzene from Pyrolysis Gasoline. C₅ Dienes Crude is used as a source for Isoprene to make Polyisoprene Rubber for Tires. The stream also contains Piperylene used to produce Copolymerization Elastomers, Petroleum Resins, Curing Agents, Pesticides and Perfumes. It may also be used as Gasoline Blending Component. C₅ Dienes Crude is a highly volatile Hydrocarbon Liquid. Because of the high content of Di-olefinic Components it reacts readily with other Components.
