Description

Methyl tert-Butyl Ether (CAS No.: 1634-04-4, commonly abbreviated as MTBE) is an ether compound synthesized via the etherification of isobutylene and methanol. It features high octane number, low vapor pressure, and good miscibility with gasoline. Since the late 1970s, it has been widely used as an octane enhancer and oxygenate in unleaded gasoline, promoting cleaner combustion and reducing emissions of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons in vehicle exhaust. With evolving environmental regulations and concerns about groundwater contamination, its use in gasoline has been restricted or phased out in some regions. Nevertheless, MTBE still finds applications in other areas, such as an organic solvent for chemical reactions, extraction, and chromatography; as a reaction intermediate for producing high-purity isobutylene; and as an additive in certain specialty formulations. Our product, manufactured in Shandong, China, is produced using mature catalytic etherification technology, achieving a purity of ≥98.0% with characteristics of high octane number and low sulfur and olefin content. It offers stable quality, meeting specific market demands and applications such as industrial solvents.
