Description
Application
Fuel additive Widely used to increase octane number in gasoline Oxygenate Helps improve combustion and reduce engine knocking Solvent Used in organic synthesis and extraction processes Chemical intermediate Used in manufacturing other chemicals.
Purpose
Its branched structure provides high blending octane value (RON 118) resistance to autoignition and excellent solvency for non-polar compounds while being stable under neutralacidic conditions but cleaving under strong acids to methanol and isobutene.
General Description
A colorless volatile flammable liquid with a mild ether-like odor Belongs to the ether family of organic compounds Slightly soluble in water highly soluble in organic solvents. Has a high octane rating and good stability.
