Methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE) 99,5+% 25 Liter

Methyl-Tert butylether (MTBE) is an organic connection that is frequently used as an additive in fuels, in particular gasoline. It is mainly added to increase the octal condition of gasoline, resulting in more efficient combustion and better engine performance. In addition, MTBE also has a few other applications, such as solvent in the chemical industry and as an extraction agent in the pharmaceutical industry. However, the use of MTBE in fuels has led to some concern because of the possible negative effects on the environment and human health. In the case of burning, MTBE can be released into the atmosphere and contribute to the formation of harmful air pollutants, such as ozone. In addition, MTBE can end up in the soil and groundwater, which can lead to contamination of drinking water sources. To guarantee the safety when using MTBE, various instructions and guidelines have been drawn up. Firstly, MTBE must be stored in well -sealed containers, in a cool and well -ventilated place, away from inflammatory sources and direct sunlight. It is important to avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing, because MTBE can cause irritation. When exposing to MTBE, it is advisable to immediately flush with a lot of water and to engage medical assistance if necessary. When applying and transporting MTBE, the applicable safety regulations and regulations must be followed. This includes the use of personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses, and avoiding leaks and spilling. It is also important to ensure good ventilation in workspaces where MTBE is used. In addition, it is crucial to remove MTBE in a responsible manner. This can be done by having it removed by a recognized waste processing company that meets the applicable regulations for hazardous substances. All in all, Methyl-Butylether is a commonly used connection in the fuel industry because of the benefits it offers for the performance of engines. However, it is important to follow the safety instructions and guidelines to minimize possible risks to the environment and health.
