tert-Butyl ethylene glycol ether
Thread Content
Dear sea friends, is there anyone who has detailed knowledge of tert-butyl ethylene glycol ether? I would appreciate your advice!
It’s just that there is an excess of MTBE at the moment. A new method for consuming isobutylene involves reacting ethylene glycol with isobutylene; this product is mainly used as a solvent in coatings. Currently, only Japan has a plant capable of producing 15,000 tons per year, and the price is around 15,000 dollars per ton. However, it is likely that this process is similar to the MTBE process. If there is an excess of MTBE in China and someone decides to use this new method, the price is expected to be similar to that of current alcohol-ether products, or even lower
Solubilizers for water-based coatings that serve as substitutes for butyl glycol ether are currently mainly imported, and the market prospects for them are good
Haiyou, what would you like to know? Participated in the 1500-ton pilot project....
Are you asking about the separation of MTBE from water? If so, it can be separated using a pervaporation membrane.
