1. Product Overview & Technical Specifications

Tert-Butyl Methyl Ether (MTBE), CAS 1634-04-4, is a high-purity oxygenated solvent widely used in fuel additives, pharmaceuticals, and chemical synthesis. Below are its key properties:

2. Key Applications of MTBE

• Gasoline Additive: Enhances octane rating, reduces engine knocking, and lowers CO emissions.
• Industrial Solvent: Used in polymerization, extraction, and pharmaceutical synthesis due to low reactivity.
• Chemical Intermediate: Production of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and isobutylene.

3. Practical Use Cases

Case 1: Refinery Oxygenate Blending

MTBE is blended with gasoline (5-15% v/v) to meet EURO 5 emission standards, improving combustion efficiency by 12-18%.

Case 2: Pharmaceutical Extraction

Used as a solvent in penicillin purification, achieving 99.5% purity with minimal residual toxicity.

4. Client Success Stories
