China and the United States are the leading exporters of 1-Dodecanol (CAS 112-53-8), together accounting for a substantial share of global supply, while India, South Korea, and Germany represent the largest importers. Imports by India and South Korea have shown consistent growth over the past two years, coinciding with moderate upward pressure on 1-Dodecanol prices amid tightening regional supply chains.
1-Dodecanol is a white, waxy solid at room temperature with a faint, floral odor; it melts near 24 °C and boils at approximately 259 °C. It is a linear primary aliphatic alcohol and classified as an organic chemical intermediate. Industrially, it serves primarily as a precursor in the synthesis of surfactants—including sodium lauryl sulfate and ethoxylated derivatives—as well as plasticizers, lubricants, and emulsifiers. Its main application areas include detergents, personal care products (e.g., shampoos and creams), textile auxiliaries, and agrochemical formulations.
