Behenic Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Docosanoic Acid
Behenic acid is a long-chain fatty-acid feedstock for oleochemical, personal-care and industrial buyers in Malaysia. It is selected where a high-melting C22 saturated fatty acid and a controlled fatty-acid profile are required.
Industrial, high-purity and low-colour grades may be requested as waxy solid or flakes. Acid value, fatty-acid profile, colour, odour and moisture should be matched to the downstream formulation or reaction.
Typical applications include oleochemical derivatives, creams and balms, hair-conditioning systems, lubricant additives and selected surface-modifying formulations. Behenic acid is distinct from stearic acid and other fatty acids with different chain lengths.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for the selected behenic acid grade.
- Grade
- industrial, high-purity, low-colour
- Appearance
- white to off-white waxy solid or flakes

Common questions about behenic acid
What is behenic acid used for?
Behenic acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid used in oleochemical conversion, personal-care formulations, lubricant additives and selected industrial products. The required grade depends on purity, colour and downstream processing.
Is behenic acid the same as stearic acid?
No. Behenic acid and stearic acid are separate fatty acids with different chain lengths. State the exact fatty-acid identity and profile required by the formulation or reaction.
Which behenic acid grade should I request?
Industrial, high-purity and low-colour grades can be considered according to the application. Provide acid value, fatty-acid profile, colour, moisture and any odour limit needed for qualification.
What form is behenic acid supplied in?
Behenic acid is traded as a white to off-white waxy solid or flakes. Preferred packing and any melting or handling requirement should be stated with the enquiry.
What information is needed for a behenic acid quote?
Send the grade, specification, application, quantity, preferred packing and delivery location. Availability, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.
