Pentane (mixed isomers): chemical resistance of ASP floors
How each ASP epoxy and polyurethane flooring product performed when fully immersed in pentane (mixed isomers), from ASP's chemical resistance guides (December 2022).
SummaryAt 20–25°C: excellent for ASP-primeStd, ASP-coat500, ASP-coat1000, ASP-coatSL, ASP-screedPTS and ASP-screedSTB.
At 20–25°C: excellent for ASP-creteSL, ASP-creteMD, ASP-creteRT, ASP-creteVS and ASP-coatPU.

Ratings come from 30 × 30 mm samples cast at each product's prescribed thickness, cured for 7 days and fully submerged at 20–25°C. On a real floor, a spill only touches the surface, so performance is usually better. Elevated temperatures accelerate chemical attack. How to read these ratings.

Is epoxy flooring resistant to pentane (mixed isomers)?
Some ASP epoxy systems are rated excellent for pentane (mixed isomers) at at 20–25°C. Check the exact concentration and temperature in the table, as ratings change with both.
Is polyurethane flooring resistant to pentane (mixed isomers)?
Some ASP polyurethane systems are rated excellent for pentane (mixed isomers) at at 20–25°C.
