MTBE methyl tert-butyl ether, abbreviated as MTBE (Methyl Tert-butyl ether), melting point -109℃, boiling point 55.2℃, is a colorless, transparent, high-octane liquid, with ether-like odor, is an ideal component for the production of lead-free, high-octane, oxygen-containing gasoline. As a gasoline additive has been widely used all over the world. At present, the domestic MTBE market is in a mature stage in the development cycle of the industry. Because the MTBE industry entry threshold is relatively low, there are basically no market constraints, the degree of product marketization is relatively high, and the product quality of different manufacturers is basically not significantly different, making the market competition is very fierce.
It is often used in the blending of unleaded gasoline and low lead oil. It can also be recracked into isobutylene, which is used as a raw material for rubber and other chemical products.
