China and Germany are the leading exporters of decyl alcohol, accounting for a substantial share of global supply, while the United States, India, and South Korea represent the largest importers. Decyl alcohol prices have remained relatively stable amid steady cross-border flows, reflecting consistent industrial demand in surfactant and plasticizer production. Export volumes from China have expanded modestly over the past two years, while imports by Southeast Asian nations—including Vietnam and Thailand—have shown incremental growth, signaling broadening regional usage.
Decyl alcohol (CAS 112-30-1) is a colorless to pale yellow, oily liquid with a mild, floral odor and low volatility; it has a melting point of approximately 6–7 °C and a boiling point of about 233 °C. It is a saturated, straight-chain primary aliphatic alcohol classified as an organic chemical intermediate. Industrially, decyl alcohol serves primarily as a precursor in the synthesis of surfactants—including alkyl sulfates and ethoxylates—as well as plasticizers, lubricant additives, and fragrance ingredients. Its derivatives are widely employed in detergents, personal care formulations, textile auxiliaries, and industrial cleaning agents.
decyl alcohol can be used for any number of functions, including as an emollient, a foam-booster, a surfactant and a viscosity controller, as well to mask odor and as a fixative in perfumes. Decyl alcohol occurs naturally in sweet orange and ambrette seed. It is also derived commercially from liquid paraffin.
