Benzyl Benzoate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Benzoic Acid Benzyl Ester
- Benzoic Acid Phenylmethyl Ester
Benzyl benzoate supplier for fragrance, personal-care, pharmaceutical and industrial formulation buyers in Malaysia. Also known as benzoic acid benzyl ester, it is a clear oily liquid used as a carrier, fixative, solvent or plasticiser, with CAS 120-51-4 and formula C14H12O2.
Cosmetic and fragrance grade is selected when colour, odour and formulation compatibility matter. Pharmaceutical grade is requested against the relevant product specification, while technical grade suits coatings, inks, polishes and resin systems. Packing and documents are confirmed with the quotation.
Formulators use benzyl benzoate where an oily, relatively high-boiling benzoate ester is more suitable than a light solvent. It is not the same chemical as benzyl alcohol, benzoic acid or the other phthalate plasticisers, so the required identity should be stated clearly in the enquiry.
Send the grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for the quoted requirement, with pricing issued for a stated validity period.

Common questions about benzyl benzoate
Are benzyl benzoate and benzoic acid benzyl ester the same product?
Yes. Benzyl benzoate, benzoic acid benzyl ester and benzoic acid phenylmethyl ester identify the same compound, CAS 120-51-4. State the grade and end use because cosmetic, pharmaceutical and technical material may be controlled against different specifications.
Which benzyl benzoate grade suits fragrance and personal care?
Cosmetic or fragrance grade is the usual starting point when colour, odour and formulation compatibility matter. Include the fragrance or personal- care specification in the enquiry so the offered material can be checked against the finished product requirement.
Is benzyl benzoate the same as benzyl alcohol?
No. Benzyl benzoate is an ester formed from benzoic acid and benzyl alcohol, while benzyl alcohol is a separate aromatic alcohol with its own CAS and uses. Request the full name and CAS number when the formulation distinguishes the two.
What specifications should a buyer provide for benzyl benzoate?
Give the application and any limits for purity, colour, acid value, water and odour. A current internal specification or the name of the required monograph gives the quotation a clearer basis than a grade name alone.
What is benzyl benzoate used for industrially?
It is used as a solvent, carrier, fixative or plasticiser in fragrance and personal-care formulations, selected pharmaceutical products, coatings, inks, polishes and resin systems. The suitable use depends on the grade and the formulation's compatibility requirements.
How do I request a benzyl benzoate price in Malaysia?
Send the grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and documentation requirements so the quotation can address the complete requirement and state its validity period.
