The United States and Germany are the leading exporters of Octane (CAS 111-65-9), accounting for the largest shares of global shipments, while China, South Korea, and India represent the top importing countries. Octane prices have remained relatively stable amid steady bilateral flows between these key trade partners. No significant shift in the top exporting or importing countries has occurred over the past three years, indicating continued concentration among established market participants.
Octane is a colorless, volatile liquid hydrocarbon with a gasoline-like odor. It is a saturated aliphatic compound (alkane) with the molecular formula C₈H₁₈ and a boiling point of approximately 125–126 °C. Primarily used as a reference standard in fuel rating—specifically for defining the octane number scale—it serves as a benchmark for assessing the anti-knock performance of gasoline blends. While not commonly employed as a chemical intermediate, it functions as a solvent in laboratory and analytical applications and may be used in specialty formulations requiring low-polarity, non-aromatic solvents. Its principal application domain is petroleum refining and fuel testing.
n-Octane occurs in petroleum crackingproducts, gasoline, petroleum ether, andpetroleum naphtha. It is used as a solventand in organic synthesis.
