MEA Triazine prices in Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, corrected 5.0% in Q2 2026, slipping from USD 1.79/KG in Q1 to USD 1.70/KG as monoethanolamine feedstock cost softening and post-spring sour gas treating and hydrogen sulphide scavenging procurement moderation reversed the sustained Q3 2025 through Q1 2026 firming trend. Globally, the average eased from USD 1.324/KG in Q1 to USD 1.258/KG in Q2, a 5.0% decline. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 1.23-1.38/KG is expected, with stabilisation as MEA feedstock costs normalise and steady oil and gas production and sour gas treating sector demand supports the market.
MEA Triazine, chemically 1,3,5-tri(2-hydroxyethyl)hexahydrotriazine, is a sacrificial one-pass hydrogen sulphide chemical scavenger produced by condensation of monoethanolamine with formaldehyde in a 3:3 molar ratio to form a saturated hexahydrotriazine ring with three 2-hydroxyethyl groups, supplied as aqueous solution at 40 to 55 percent active content. The compound reacts with hydrogen sulphide through nucleophilic substitution at the triazine ring nitrogen positions to form dithiazine condensation products, irreversibly scavenging the H2S molecule and rendering it non-corrosive. The largest pull comes from injection into sour crude oil and natural gas production wellheads, gathering pipelines, and midstream processing facilities to maintain hydrogen sulphide below safety and specification limits and prevent stress corrosion cracking of carbon steel. Gas pipeline batch treatment, sour water treating, oil sands produced water treatment, and biogas upgrading hydrogen sulphide removal add further demand. Drilling fluid hydrogen sulphide treatment and wellbore scavenging add consistent further oilfield demand. Monoethanolamine and formaldehyde synthesis feedstock costs, oil and gas sour production volumes, and regional scavenger blending and supply capacity all feed into the price.
The balance of supply and demand for MEA Triazine through H2 2026 leans toward stabilisation after the Q2 correction. Monoethanolamine feedstock costs are normalising. Oil and gas sour production, pipeline treating, and biogas upgrading demand provide consistent support at current price levels.
The main upside risk is MEA and formaldehyde cost spikes alongside accelerating sour gas field development and biogas upgrading demand. The main downside risk is continued scavenger capacity additions and alternative H2S chemistry competition maintaining price pressure below the forecast range.

Injection into sour crude oil and natural gas production wellheads, gathering pipelines, and midstream processing facilities to maintain hydrogen sulphide concentrations below safety and specification limits and prevent stress corrosion cracking of carbon steel takes the largest share. Gas pipeline batch treatment, sour water and produced water treating, oil sands production water treatment, and biogas upgrading hydrogen sulphide removal also consume significant volumes.
The Q2 2026 average was USD 1.38/KG in the United States, USD 0.95/KG in China, USD 1.70/KG in Germany, and USD 1.31/KG in India. Germany remains the highest-priced market.
The global average rose to a peak of USD 1.324/KG in Q1 2026 before correcting to USD 1.258/KG in Q2, a 5.0% quarterly decline. MEA feedstock cost firming through Q1 and post-spring sour gas treating procurement moderation drove the pattern.
Monoethanolamine and formaldehyde feedstock cost softening reduced the triazine scavenger production floor. Post-spring sour crude wellhead and pipeline treating procurement moderation reduced buying urgency from the Q1 firming peak.
The global average is expected in the USD 1.23 to 1.38/KG range for H2 2026, with stabilisation as MEA feedstock costs normalise and sour gas treating and biogas upgrading demand resumes.
Germany sits highest on MEA and energy costs, the United States and India hold a firm middle on sour gas and oilfield demand, and China prices lowest on competitive domestic feedstock costs.

Prices respond mainly to monoethanolamine and formaldehyde feedstock costs, sour oil and gas production volumes, and biogas upgrading capacity growth. Ethylene oxide prices and oil and gas sour production data are key upstream signals.
North America and the Middle East hold the largest MEA Triazine production and blending capacity near oil and gas producing regions, with European and Asian producers serving local markets. Any MEA cost move ripples across markets within one quarter.
Buyers can use quarterly trends and forecasts to time sour gas treating and produced water contracts around MEA feedstock cost cycles, build cover when monoethanolamine signals tighten, and monitor sour field production volumes as the primary demand signal.
