MTBE
MTBE is a colorless, transparent, high-octane liquid with ether-like odor. It is an ideal blending component for the production of lead-free, high-octane and oxygen-containing gasoline. As a gasoline additive, MTBE has been widely used worldwide. It can not only effectively improve the octane number of gasoline, but also improve vehicle performance, reduce the exhaust CO content, and reduce the cost of gasoline production.
