Product description:

Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl (MMT), CAS No. 12108-13-3, is a manganese-based gasoline additive primarily used as an octane enhancer and antiknock component in fuel blending. It allows fuel formulators and refiners to adjust gasoline octane performance through controlled additive treatment.

ZXCHEM supplies MMT in 9298 and 9296 grades to meet different formulation and handling requirements. Both grades are supplied with controlled manganese content, moisture, density, and other key technical specifications for industrial fuel applications.

Product Applications:

  • Gasoline Octane Enhancement — Used to increase the octane performance of gasoline and support controlled fuel blending.
  • Antiknock Fuel Formulations — Suitable for gasoline additive formulations designed to improve resistance to engine knock.
  • Refinery Fuel Blending — Applied in refinery blending programs where additional octane adjustment is required for finished gasoline.
  • Fuel Additive Formulations — Used as an active component in formulated gasoline additive systems for industrial fuel applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

The primary difference is product concentration. Grade 9298 contains ≥98% MMT with manganese content ≥24.4%, while Grade 9296 contains ≥62% MMT with manganese content ≥15.1%. Their density, freezing point, and flash point specifications also differ, so the appropriate grade should be selected according to the customer’s formulation and handling requirements.
No. Requirements governing manganese-containing gasoline additives vary by country and market. Buyers should confirm applicable fuel specifications, permitted manganese levels, and regulatory requirements in the destination market before commercial use.
Selection depends on the required MMT concentration, fuel formulation, blending process, storage conditions, and handling system. Customers can provide their target grade or technical requirements when requesting a quotation.
Compatibility and treatment requirements depend on the base gasoline, additive package, target fuel specification, and applicable regulations. Laboratory or formulation evaluation is recommended before commercial-scale use.
