China and Germany are the leading exporters of 1,2-Octanediol (CAS 1117-86-8), accounting for the largest shares of global supply, while the United States, South Korea, and India represent the top importing markets. Imports into the U.S. and South Korea have risen steadily since 2022, coinciding with moderate upward pressure on 1,2-Octanediol prices amid tightening supply from key European producers.
1,2-Octanediol is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with low volatility and a mild, faintly sweet odor. It is an aliphatic vicinal diol, classified as an organic chemical intermediate. Industrially, it serves primarily as a building block in the synthesis of plasticizers, surfactants, and specialty esters. Its applications span agrochemical formulations (e.g., as a solubilizer or adjuvant), personal care products (e.g., in preservative systems and emulsion stabilizers), and polymer additives. It is also employed in coatings and ink systems for its coalescing and film-forming properties.
1,2-Octanediol has a variety of applications. It is used to improve HPLC separation of organic acids and bases and to synthesize halohydrin palmitates. Additionally, it is studied for its potential use as a pediculicide and has been shown to be effective against louse infestations.
