What are uses of iso-octane?
ISO-octane, or 2, 2, 4-Trimethylpentane is mainly used in the production of gasoline. When added, it reduces engine knocking. The addition of ISO-octane is what is referred to when a gasoline's octane rating is referred to, and a 100 rating is when only ISO-octane is added to the gasoline. A zero rating is when only heptane is added, so the various ratings refer to the ratio and blends added to fuel.
