This invention relates to compositions of cyclopentane, and a compound
selected from the group consisting of hydrofluorocarbons,
hydrofluoroethers, or fluorinated sulfur compounds. Specifically these
compounds may be selected from the group consisting of tetrafluoroethane,
hexafluoropropane, pentafluoropropane, tetrafluoropropane,
trifluoropropane, difluoropropane, octafluorobutane, hexafluorobutane,
pentafluorobutane, nonafluorobutane, difluorobutane,
trifluoro-2-methoxyethane and bis(pentafluoroethyl)sulfide.The
compositions, which may be azeotropic or azeotrope-like, may be used as
refrigerants, cleaning agents, expansion agents for polyolefins and
polyurethanes, aerosol propellants, refrigerants, heat transfer media,
gaseous dielectrics, fire extinguishing agents, power cycle working
fluids, polymerization media, particulate removal fluids, carrier fluids,
buffing abrasive agents or displacement drying agents.
