MTBE is a high-octane gasoline additive that blends seamlessly into unleaded fuels. Itโs a central component in the production of 95/98 octane unleaded gasoline, currently constituting around 10% of Israelโs gasoline composition.
Dor Chemicals is Israelโs largest MTBE producer, supplying both of the countryโs refineriesโthrough its own manufacturing and supplementary importsโto meet the Israeli gasoline marketโs demand.
The use of MTBE replaces lead-based compounds formerly used to boost octane levels, significantly reducing emissions of harmful toxins from vehicle exhaust.
