What is Pentyl Nitrite.
Pentyl Nitrite, derived from isoamyl, is an alkyl nitrite that has several similarities to amyl nitrite. This spin off was used by companies during an era where amyl nitrite was getting alot of scrutiny. To remain compliant with the law, the final product was derived using isoamyl, instead of amyl,resulting in a sweet smelling cleaning solvent, that still packs a punch.

Shop NowWhats there not to like?
The aroma of Pentyl nitrite is almost fruity, and the effects are strong. It keeps very well even in non optimum conditions. Pentyl nitrite is not as strong as its proply/isobutyl counterparts, but that doesn’t mean that it is any less enjoyable to behold. Pentyl nitrite has quite a long lasting effect, but only a medium-strong strength cleaning experience. Some may feel that it’s cleaning strength leaves more to be desired.
