BENZOPHENONE Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Diphenyl Ketone
BENZOPHENONE supplier in Malaysia for UV-curable ink, coating, adhesive and chemical manufacturing requirements. Also called diphenyl ketone, this page covers the parent benzophenone with CAS 119-61-9, not Benzophenone-4 or another substituted benzophenone UV absorber.
Benzophenone is a white crystalline solid commonly handled as crystals, flakes or powder. Enquiries may cover photoinitiator grade for Type II UV-curing systems, technical grade for industrial synthesis, or high-purity material for laboratory and development work.
Coating, adhesive and printing-ink formulators use benzophenone in selected photosensitive curing packages, while chemical manufacturers use it as an intermediate. The resin system, curing process, purity and particle form help distinguish the appropriate material for each process.
Send the required grade, form, receiving specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation, with benzophenone price offered for a stated validity period.

BENZOPHENONE 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Photoinitiator grade benzophenone | crystalline powder, fine crystals or flakes | — | Type II photoinitiator for selected UV-curable inks, coatings and adhesive systems where the formulator specifies benzophenone and the required purity. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical grade benzophenone | crystals, flakes or powder | — | Chemical intermediate and process additive for industrial manufacture where the receiving specification defines purity, colour and physical form. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity benzophenone | crystalline solid | — | Laboratory, development and synthesis work that needs tighter identity and purity controls than a general technical grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about BENZOPHENONE
Is benzophenone the same as Benzophenone-4?
No. This page covers the parent compound benzophenone, also called diphenyl ketone, with CAS 119-61-9. Benzophenone-4 is a substituted sulfonic-acid UV absorber with a separate identity and should be requested under its own name.
How is benzophenone used as a photoinitiator?
Benzophenone acts as a Type II photoinitiator in selected UV-curable ink, coating and adhesive systems, normally as part of a formulated curing package. State the resin system and curing requirement so the appropriate grade can be considered.
Which benzophenone grade should a buyer request?
Photoinitiator grade suits UV-curing formulations, technical grade serves industrial synthesis and process uses, and high-purity material is selected for laboratory or tightly controlled synthesis work. Provide the receiving specification rather than relying on the grade label alone.
What physical forms of benzophenone are available for enquiry?
Commercial material may be presented as crystals, flakes or powder. The preferred form affects charging, dissolution and dust control, so include it with the required grade and quantity.
What specifications should accompany a benzophenone enquiry?
State the required purity, appearance or colour, melting range, moisture and particle form, together with the intended use. A current receiving specification gives the clearest basis for matching a quotation.
How are packing, documents and benzophenone price confirmed?
Include the quantity, delivery location, preferred pack format and required documents. Packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation, and price is offered with a stated validity period.
