Automotive Adhesives & Sealants Market Overview
Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) is an organic compound primarily used as a gasoline additive to increase octane numbers and reduce engine knocking. This oxygenate improves combustion efficiency while lowering tailpipe emissions. While its use as a fuel additive has declined in some regions due to environmental concerns, alternative applications in isobutene production, methyl methacrylate manufacturing, and medical intermediates continue to drive demand.
