China and the United States are the leading exporters of Heptadecane (CAS 629-78-7), accounting for the largest shares of global shipments in recent years, while Germany, Japan, and South Korea serve as the principal importers. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth in Asian imports coinciding with steady Heptadecane prices amid consistent industrial demand for research and specialty chemical applications.
Heptadecane is a colorless, odorless solid at room temperature, typically appearing as waxy flakes or crystals; it has a melting point of approximately 22 °C and a boiling point near 303 °C. It is a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon (n-alkane) with the molecular formula C₁₇H₃₆. As a long-chain alkane, it serves primarily as a reference standard in gas chromatography and as a raw material in the synthesis of fatty alcohols, surfactants, and lubricant additives. Its main industrial applications are in the production of detergents, personal care ingredients, and specialty coatings, where it functions as a precursor or performance modifier in surfactant and emollient manufacturing.
