Product Description
Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl (MMT)
CAS 12108-13-3
Methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl is a manganese metal compound that serves as a flammable and highly toxic substance. In case of fire, it decomposes into toxic manganese oxide fumes. Initially used as a supplement to leaded gasoline, it was later adopted in unleaded gasoline to enhance octane levels.
Key Benefits
- Octane Enhancement: Increases octane levels in unleaded gasoline
- Gasoline Supplement: Historically used as a supplement in leaded gasoline
- Antiknock Agent: Acts as an antiknock agent in gasoline
- Chemical Intermediate: Useful as a manganese metal compound in various chemical processes
Target Industries and Applications: Gasoline production, chemical manufacturing, and fuel additives.
Packaging & Delivery: Cool, ventilated and dry; store separately from foodstuffs.
