During the third quarter of 2026, the ethyl hexyl nitrate prices in China reached 2.30 USD/KG in September. Prices moved upward through the quarter as domestic producers held firm on offers in response to firmer synthesis input and processing costs derived from nitric acid and oxo alcohol availability. Export oriented buyers kept procurement active, which reduced the volume of material available for the local spot market and supported quoted levels. Downstream fuel additive blenders and diesel suppliers continued regular purchasing despite the firmer cost base, keeping offtake consistent through the period. Freight and handling charges at major ports added to delivered values for buyers moving cargo into overseas markets. Suppliers stayed disciplined on offers, reinforcing the upward tone across the quarter.
During the third quarter of 2026, the ethyl hexyl nitrate prices in India reached 2.54 USD/KG in September. Prices increased as import dependent buyers faced firmer landed costs for material sourced from established overseas producers during the quarter. Limited domestic production capacity for fuel additive grade nitrate esters kept the market reliant on imported volumes, so movements in overseas quotations passed quickly into local offers. Steady procurement from diesel blenders and fuel additive formulators absorbed available material and kept offtake consistent. Currency movements against supplying nations added to procurement costs for buyers managing foreign denominated purchases. Distributors maintained lean inventories, which restricted the volume of prompt material available for immediate delivery and supported the firmer tone through the period.
During the third quarter of 2026, the ethyl hexyl nitrate prices in the United States reached 2.78 USD/KG in September. Prices advanced as domestic buyers faced firmer replacement costs for imported material alongside tighter inbound logistics through the quarter. Steady procurement from diesel fuel blenders and additive package manufacturers kept demand firm, absorbing the volumes offered into the spot market. Suppliers showed little willingness to discount given the restricted availability of well specified cetane improver grade material. Distributors kept inventories conservative, which limited the volume of prompt material available to buyers seeking immediate delivery. Higher handling and freight charges on inbound cargo added to delivered values across the quarter. Suppliers held firm on offers, reinforcing the upward direction through the period.
During the third quarter of 2026, the ethyl hexyl nitrate prices in Germany reached 2.89 USD/KG in September. Prices moved upward as regional buyers maintained steady offtake of imported material despite firmer supplier offers during the quarter. Tighter prompt availability across the European market encouraged purchasers to secure forward coverage rather than rely on spot purchases. Higher replacement costs linked to limited prompt supply added to the upward pressure on local quotations. Distributors maintained conservative inventory positions, which restricted the volume of material available to buyers seeking immediate delivery. Steady demand from diesel fuel blenders and fuel additive formulators kept offtake consistent through the period. Handling and documentation requirements for nitrate ester grade material limited the number of qualified suppliers serving large contracts, reinforcing the firmer tone.
During the third quarter of 2026, the ethyl hexyl nitrate prices in Canada reached 2.84 USD/KG in September. Prices climbed as cross border availability tightened and replacement costs rose across the North American fuel additive supply chain. Canadian buyers faced firmer regional offers as strong demand in the United States absorbed available volumes and reduced export flexibility for shippers. Processors serving diesel blending and additive package segments maintained steady procurement despite the firmer pricing environment. Distributors kept inventories lean, which limited the volume of prompt material available for immediate delivery. Suppliers held firm on offers given the restricted availability through the quarter, reinforcing the upward tone.

Europe Ethyl Hexyl Nitrate Price Trend
Q3 2026:
The ethyl hexyl nitrate price index in Europe moved upward through the quarter, supported by firmer replacement costs for imported material and steady demand from diesel fuel blenders and additive formulators. Germany, the region's principal importing and consuming market, recorded firmer quotations as buyers maintained regular procurement despite firmer supplier offers. European fuel blenders depend substantially on imported volumes, so firmer offers in supplying markets feed quickly into landed costs. Tighter prompt availability encouraged purchasers to secure forward coverage rather than rely on spot deliveries. Distributors kept inventories lean, which limited the volume of prompt material available to buyers seeking immediate delivery. Logistics constraints and periodic congestion at major ports restricted the timely movement of cargo and encouraged forward purchasing. Handling and documentation requirements for nitrate ester grade material limited the number of qualified suppliers able to serve large contracts, keeping competition restrained. Currency movements against supplying nations added further uncertainty to procurement costs for regional buyers. Demand from road transport and industrial fuel customers remained resilient despite the firmer cost base, reinforcing the upward tone through the quarter.

North America Ethyl Hexyl Nitrate Price Trend
Q3 2026:
The ethyl hexyl nitrate price index in North America moved upward during the quarter, reflecting firmer replacement costs and steady downstream demand. The United States, the largest consuming market in the region, recorded firmer quotations as diesel fuel blenders and additive package manufacturers maintained active procurement of available material. Canada followed a similar direction, with cross border buyers facing firmer replacement costs as strong demand in the United States absorbed exportable supply. Availability of well specified cetane improver grade material stayed limited, which restricted the volume offered into the spot market. Buyers also faced higher costs on imported volumes, since firmer international quotations and freight charges feed directly into landed values. Distributors kept inventories conservative, which reduced flexibility for buyers seeking prompt deliveries. Logistics constraints at major ports restricted the timely movement of inbound cargo and encouraged forward purchasing. Demand from transport, agricultural and industrial fuel customers remained consistent across the quarter. Suppliers held firm on offers given the tighter prompt market, reinforcing the upward direction through the period.

Product Description
Ethyl hexyl nitrate, also known as 2-ethylhexyl nitrate, is an organic nitrate ester of the alkyl nitrate family, supplied as a fuel additive grade liquid rather than as a bulk feedstock chemical. Its molecular formula is C8H17NO3, and it is the nitrate ester formed from 2-ethylhexanol (2-ethylhexan-1-ol) and nitric acid. It is generally a clear to pale yellow oily liquid with a characteristic odour, essentially insoluble in water and soluble in hydrocarbons, alcohols and other organic solvents. The material has moderate volatility, is flammable, and is thermally labile, decomposing at elevated temperatures in a way that releases species which promote ignition. The fuel additives industry is its principal user, followed by fuel blending and distribution operations serving transport fuels. Its end uses include diesel fuel, where it acts as a cetane number improver that shortens ignition delay and improves combustion quality, biodiesel and biodiesel blends, where it raises cetane quality, and formulated additive packages in which it is blended as an active component. Industrially, ethyl hexyl nitrate is commonly produced by nitration of 2-ethylhexanol with nitric acid to form the nitrate ester.
