Description

Purpose
Primarily enhances fuel combustion efficiency and oxygen content to lower CO emissions as a cleaner alternative to lead its stability and low polarity make it ideal for dissolving non-polar compounds without reacting under neutral conditions.

General Description
tert-Butyl methyl ether (MTBE C5H12O) is a colorless volatile liquid with a turpentine-like odor featuring a methyl group and a tert-butyl group linked by an oxygen atom. It has a low viscosity boiling point of 55C density of 0.74 gcm and limited water solubility (about 4%) while being miscible with organic solvents.
