MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) has been primarily used as a gasoline additive to increase the octane rating and reduce emissions from gasoline-powered vehicles. It was added to gasoline to replace lead additives, which were banned in the United States and many other countries due to their harmful effects on human health and the environment.
MTBE is also used as a solvent in some industrial and laboratory applications, and it has been used in the production of other chemicals, such as methyl methacrylate, a monomer used in the manufacture of plastics.
However, the use of MTBE as a gasoline additive has been phased out in many countries due to concerns about its potential health risks and groundwater contamination. As a result, its primary use as a gasoline additive has declined significantly.
