In China at present, MTBE is used to adjust the composition of gasoline in order to increase its octane rating!
High-purity versions can be used for cracking to produce isobutylene, for making butyl rubber, or polyisobutylene
MTBE is cracked into high-purity isobutylene for use in fine chemicals. High-purity isobutylene generally refers to products with a purity level of over 99.5%. It can be used in the production of various fine chemicals, such as butyl rubber, polyisobutylene, methacrylates (MMA), tert-butyl thiol, tert-butyl phenol, antioxidants, tert-butyl amine, and other organic chemical products.
