ACETOPHENONE Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 1-Phenylethanone
- Methyl Phenyl Ketone
ACETOPHENONE supplier in Malaysia for chemical synthesis, coatings, adhesives, fragrance, flavour, personal-care and laboratory buyers. Acetophenone is an aromatic ketone supplied as a colourless to pale yellow liquid and selected by purity, water, colour, related compounds and non-volatile residue.
Technical grades serve resin, coating, ink, adhesive and general chemical processes, while high-purity grades support controlled specialty synthesis and analytical work. Fragrance and flavour applications require material qualified for the relevant odour profile, impurity limits and documentation.
Acetophenone may crystallise in cool conditions and return to a clear liquid under suitable handling conditions. It is a separate product from benzophenone, benzaldehyde and other aromatic carbonyl compounds, so the exact identity and reaction specification should be stated.
Send the required grade, purity and impurity profile, quantity and delivery location for a quotation. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for the quoted acetophenone requirement.

ACETOPHENONE grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical grade acetophenone | clear colourless to pale yellow liquid | — | Resin, coating, adhesive and general chemical manufacture where acetophenone serves as a process solvent or intermediate and is selected by purity, colour, water and residue requirements. | Liquid packing and commercial details are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Fragrance and flavour grade acetophenone | clear aromatic liquid | — | Fragrance, flavour and personal-care formulations where odour profile, colour, purity and application-specific documentation must suit the finished product. | Pack format and supporting documents are confirmed for the quoted grade. |
| High-purity synthesis grade acetophenone | clear liquid that may crystallise when cool | — | Pharmaceutical, agrochemical, laboratory and specialty synthesis where a tighter acetophenone assay and controlled water, related compounds and non-volatile residue are required. | Suitable packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation. |

ACETOPHENONE applications
Safety and handling
Keep acetophenone tightly sealed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, protected from heat, ignition sources and contamination. Follow the storage and handling information supplied for the quoted grade.
Common questions about ACETOPHENONE
Is acetophenone the same as benzophenone?
No. Acetophenone is methyl phenyl ketone with one phenyl group, while benzophenone contains two phenyl groups and has a separate identity, specification and physical form.
Why can acetophenone crystallise during cool storage?
Acetophenone has a phase-change temperature close to ordinary cool-room conditions, so clear liquid may partly solidify when chilled. Confirm the product handling guidance before warming or transferring it.
Which acetophenone grade suits fragrance or flavour work?
Request an application-qualified grade with the required odour profile, colour, purity and documents. Include the finished formulation type and any impurity limits that affect sensory quality.
What specifications matter for synthesis-grade acetophenone?
Buyers commonly define acetophenone assay, water, colour, related aromatic compounds and non-volatile residue. Send the reaction requirement and the complete acceptance specification with the enquiry.
Can technical acetophenone be used as a coating or resin solvent?
It may suit processes where its solvency, evaporation and compatibility are appropriate, but the formulator should assess it in the complete system and state the required purity and residue limits.
How are acetophenone packing and documents confirmed?
State the grade, preferred pack format and any product documents required. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted material.
What details are needed for an acetophenone price enquiry in Malaysia?
Send the grade, purity and impurity limits, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention required documents and timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
