Methyl tert-butyl ether

Methyl tert-butyl ether (CAS 1634-04-4 ), commonly known as MTBE, is an ether-based solvent used across chemical processing and specialty formulation industries. It offers fast evaporation and strong solvency for a range of organic compounds. This material is a practical choice where clean solvent recovery is a priority. In personal care and cosmetics manufacturing, it functions as a process solvent for extracting and purifying fragrance ingredients and active compounds. Its low residue profile suits applications where solvent carryover into finished formulations must be minimized. In laboratory and analytical settings, it is a standard extraction solvent for isolating non-polar compounds from aqueous matrices. Flavor and fragrance producers also use it as a carrier solvent during intermediate synthesis steps. In these environments, controlled evaporation aids in precise concentration management during the production cycle. The product is supplied as a liquid in bulk quantities, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), and drums. Technical grade is the most common commercial specification for industrial use and large-scale processing. High-purity grades are available for analytical and specialty synthesis applications. Buyers should confirm purity thresholds and peroxide content specifications when sourcing for sensitive extraction or formulation processes.
