Tert-Butyl methyl ether GC

Tert-Butyl methyl ether GC grade CAS: 1634-04-4 | MF: C5H12O | MW: 88.15, Buy now for reliable and Reproducible results from Bluster GC Solvent at Chemical World.

tert-Butyl methyl ether GC (CAS No. 1634-04-4) is a clear, colorless and volatile organic liquid that has a slight aroma of mint. Its solubility in water is low and has a molecular formula of C5H12O. It is also known as methyl tert-butyl ether, abbreviated as MTBE, TBME, MTB, and 2-Methoxy-2-methylpropane. tert-Butyl methyl ether can be prepared by the etherification of methanol and isobutylene. When it is of GC (Gas Chromatography) grade, it indicates very high purity that can be used in analytical and chromatography tests.

Applications

  • Used as a gasoline additive, with extensive studies on its environmental behavior and microbial degradation.
  • Commonly used as a solvent in the extraction of analytical and environmental chemistry.
  • Applied in gas chromatography and used in the preparation and separation of volatile organic compounds.

Key Characteristics

  • High Purity: It is prepared to stringent standards of GC-grade to reduce contaminants.
  • Low Water Content: Maintains constant retention times and chromatographic behaviour.
  • IR Transparency: IR-sensitive analytical and extraction applications.Large Volatility: Allows quick evaporation and effective sample processing.

Overview

TBME GC Grade (CAS No. 1634-04-4) is a high purity ether solvent that is optimized to work with gas chromatography and advanced methods of analysis. This solvent has a controlled impurity profile, low UV absorbance, and low moisture content, which make it suitable to give accurate and reproducible results to the demanding laboratory workflow.

When tests are being conducted to determine the location to purchase the tert-Butyl Methyl Ether GC Grade, or prices of tert-Butyl Methyl Ether GC are compared, it is the purity, packaging, and consistency of the batch that are usually taken into account. The solvent is a solid option when used in analytical, environmental and fuel studies.
