Hi Aveno:
Alkylate is termed as a blending component for gasoline. Remember these are all hydrocarbon fractions until they go through the blending processes to meet a gasoline specification. Alkylates are high octane fractions which are mixed with low octane virgin light / medium naphtha fractions to get a gasoline product meeting a market specification (Euro-IV etc)
