Germany, the United States, and China are the leading exporters of Diisobutylcarbinol (CAS 108-82-7), collectively accounting for over 60% of global exports in recent years; major importers include India, South Korea, and Mexico, driven by demand from pharmaceutical and specialty chemical sectors. Export volumes have remained relatively stable since 2022, while regional shifts in Diisobutylcarbinol prices reflect tightening supply from European producers amid regulatory adjustments and feedstock cost fluctuations.
Diisobutylcarbinol (CAS 108-82-7) is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a mild, characteristic odor and moderate volatility; it has a boiling point of approximately 186–188 °C and a melting point near −35 °C. It is classified as a branched-chain aliphatic tertiary alcohol and serves primarily as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. Its main industrial use is in the production of esters—particularly diisobutylcarbinol acetate—which function as high-boiling solvents and reactive diluents in coatings and inks. It is also employed in the synthesis of plasticizers, lubricant additives, and specialty surfactants for applications in coatings, adhesives, and agrochemical formulations.
Diisobutylcarbinol is used as a fragrance ingredient.
