Benzoin Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Ethanone, 2-Hydroxy-1,2-Diphenyl-
Benzoin supplier for Malaysian powder-coating, polymer, specialty-chemical and laboratory buyers seeking CAS 119-53-9. This white to pale yellow aromatic hydroxy ketone is purchased as crystals or crystalline powder by assay, colour, melting behaviour and particle-size specification.
Commercial requirements include powder-coating grade for degassing, photochemical grade for selected polymerisation systems and high-purity or reagent material for organic synthesis. Particle distribution matters in dry coating blends, while reagent work commonly places more emphasis on assay and impurity controls.
In thermoset powder coatings, benzoin helps release entrained gas during cure. It can also serve as a photoinitiator in selected systems and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. This chemical is not gum benzoin or Siam benzoin, which are compositionally different botanical resins.
Send the required grade, assay and impurity limits, particle form, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Benzoin 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Powder-coating grade benzoin | fine white to pale yellow crystalline powder | — | Degassing additive in thermoset powder-coating formulations where particle size, purity and compatibility with the resin and cure system are specified. | Confirm the particle specification and pack format with the quotation. |
| Photochemical-grade benzoin | fine crystalline powder | — | Photoinitiator and specialty polymerisation work in systems that explicitly specify benzoin rather than a benzoin ether or another photoinitiator. | Confirm the purity and pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity and reagent benzoin | white to pale yellow crystals or powder | — | Organic synthesis, research and production of selected chemical intermediates where assay and impurity limits are defined by the method. | Confirm the assay, particle form and pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about benzoin
What benzoin product does this page cover?
This page covers the aromatic hydroxy ketone benzoin with CAS 119-53-9 and formula C14H12O2. It is supplied as crystals or crystalline powder for coatings, photochemistry and chemical-synthesis applications.
Is chemical benzoin the same as gum benzoin or Siam benzoin?
No. Gum benzoin and Siam benzoin are botanical resins, while this page covers the distinct synthetic or purified aromatic compound benzoin CAS 119-53-9. They have different compositions, specifications and uses and must not share aliases.
What does benzoin do in powder coatings?
Benzoin is used as a degassing additive in thermoset powder coatings to help release gas during cure and reduce surface defects. State the resin, cure system, particle requirement and current formulation target with the enquiry.
Is benzoin used as a photoinitiator?
Benzoin is used in selected UV-curing and photopolymerisation systems. Benzoin ethers and benzophenone are different photoinitiators, so the exact chemical identity and formulation requirement should be stated.
Which specifications matter when buying benzoin?
Buyers commonly define assay, appearance or colour, melting behaviour, moisture and particle-size distribution. Coating applications should also identify the resin, cure conditions and additive-dispersion requirement.
What benzoin grade suits laboratory or synthesis work?
High-purity or reagent grade should be requested when a method requires tighter assay and impurity control than an industrial coating grade. Send the written method or purchasing specification so the grade can be matched.
What details are needed for a benzoin quotation?
Provide the grade, assay and impurity limits, particle form, quantity, application and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and required documents so applicable options can be confirmed with the quotation.
