Germany and the United States are the leading exporters of propylene tetramer (CAS 6842-15-5), accounting for the largest shares of global shipments, while China, South Korea, and India represent the top importing countries. Propylene tetramer prices have remained relatively stable amid steady cross-border flows, with no major price volatility observed in recent trade records. Exports from the U.S. increased modestly in 2023–2024, while German export volumes held steady, and Asian import demand—particularly from China—continued to grow at a moderate pace.
Propylene tetramer is a colorless to pale yellow, low-viscosity liquid with a mild hydrocarbon odor and moderate volatility. It is an aliphatic branched olefin mixture, primarily composed of C₁₂ olefins formed by the catalytic oligomerization of propylene. As a chemical intermediate, it serves predominantly in the production of synthetic lubricants, detergent alkylates (e.g., linear alkylbenzenes), and plasticizer alcohols via hydroformylation. Its main application areas include industrial lubricants, surfactants for household and institutional cleaning products, and specialty plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other polymers.
