China and Germany are the leading exporters of 1-Chlorooctadecane (CAS 3386-33-2), accounting for the largest shares of global shipments, while the United States, South Korea, and India represent the top importing countries. Recent trade data shows stable export volumes from China amid modest upward pressure on 1-Chlorooctadecane prices, while imports into the U.S. and South Korea have grown steadily over the past two years.
1-Chlorooctadecane is a colorless to pale yellow, low-volatility liquid at room temperature, with a mild odor and a melting point near 25–27 °C and a boiling point of approximately 320–325 °C at atmospheric pressure. It is a saturated aliphatic alkyl chloride and functions primarily as a specialty organic intermediate. Its main industrial use is in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds, surfactants, and cationic softeners—particularly for textile and personal care applications. It is also employed in the production of lubricant additives, corrosion inhibitors, and functionalized waxes. Typical application areas include textiles, agrochemical formulations, and polymer additives.
