CAS 1634-04-4 Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether

Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether is the abbreviation of methyl tert-butyl ether. It is a high-octane gasoline additive. The chemical oxygen content is much lower than that of methanol, which is beneficial to warming up the car and saving fuel. It has low latent heat of evaporation. Good for cold start, often used in blending of unleaded gasoline and low lead oil. It can also be re-cracked into isobutylene as a raw material for rubber and other chemical products. The best quality methyl tert-butyl ether can be used as medicine and is a medicine intermediate. Commonly known as “pharmaceutical grade MTBE” or “pharmaceutical grade methyl tert-butyl ether”. The toxicity and danger of methyl tert-butyl ether should be fully paid attention to during storage and use.

Product Application

Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is mainly used asgasoline additive, has excellent knock resistance,improves octane number, and can also be cracked toproduce isobutene.lt has good miscibility withgasoline, less water absorption, no pollution to theenvironment, can be improved as an analyticalsolvent, extractant,in chromatography especiallyhigh pressure liquid chromatography as a removalagent, and some polar solvents such as watermethanol, ethanol and other azeotrope formationMtbe also has a mild narcotic effect.
