description Product Description
2-Methylbutane is commonly used as a solvent in various industrial applications due to its low boiling point and volatility. It is often employed in the production of polystyrene and other plastics, where it acts as a blowing agent to create foam structures. Additionally, it serves as a component in fuels, particularly in gasoline, to enhance octane ratings and improve engine performance. In laboratories, it is utilized as a non-polar solvent for chemical reactions and extractions. Its properties also make it suitable for use in refrigeration systems as a refrigerant fluid.
