China, the United States, and Germany are the leading exporters of Decahydronaphthalene, collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in 2023–2024, while India, South Korea, and Brazil represent the largest importers. Import volumes have risen steadily in Asia-Pacific markets amid tightening supply from European producers, contributing to upward pressure on Decahydronaphthalene prices.
Decahydronaphthalene (CAS 91-17-8) is a colorless, mobile liquid with a mild, chloroform-like odor and moderate volatility; it has a boiling point of approximately 195 °C and a melting point near −43 °C. It is a saturated bicyclic alicyclic hydrocarbon, classified as a naphthene and commonly referred to as decalin. Primarily used as a high-boiling solvent in coatings, resins, and cleaning formulations, it also serves as a reaction medium and hydrogenation catalyst carrier. In chemical synthesis, decahydronaphthalene functions as an intermediate in the production of specialty chemicals, including certain pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and is employed in the preparation of substituted tetralins and other fused-ring derivatives.
