China and India are the leading exporters of 1-Chlorohexadecane (CAS 4860-03-1), accounting for the majority of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importing markets. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth in Asian exports coinciding with steady demand from North American and European specialty chemical users—trends reflected in recent 1-Chlorohexadecane prices, which show limited volatility amid consistent supply-demand balance.
1-Chlorohexadecane is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with low volatility, a faint chlorinated odor, and a melting point near 18–20 °C and boiling point of approximately 295–300 °C at atmospheric pressure. It is a saturated aliphatic alkyl chloride and functions primarily as a versatile organic chemical intermediate. Its main industrial use is in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds, surfactants, and cationic emulsifiers—particularly for fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and antistatic agents. It is also employed in the production of specialty lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, and as a precursor in agrochemical and polymer additive manufacturing.
1-Chlorohexadecane is used as chemical intermediate.
