Preservation method 

Store it in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from kindling materials and heat sources. The storage temperature shall not be higher than 29℃. Keep container tightly closed. It should be stored separately from oxidants, and mixed storage is not permitted. Use explosive-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. Prohibit using mechanical equipment and tools prone to produce spark. For storage area, it is necessary to provide leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable collection materials. 

Synthesis method 

It can be prepared by hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene, which is generated through coal dry distillation. 

Main Application 

It is widely used as a substitute for Freon in thermal insulation materials for refrigerators and freezers, as well as a blowing agent for other rigid PU foams.
