Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether
- Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether
(ETBE)
A chemical compound produced in a reaction between ethanol and isobutylene (a petroleum-derived by-product of the refining process). ETBE has characteristics superior to other ethers: low volatility, low water solubility, high octane value, and a large reduction in carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions.
