Benzylideneacetone (Benzalacetone) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Benzalacetone
- 4-Phenyl-3-Buten-2-One
Benzylideneacetone supplier for electroplating, flavour and feed buyers in Malaysia. Also known as benzalacetone or 4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one, it is an aromatic enone supplied as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid.
Plating grade, flavour grade and feed grade can be requested against the purity limits of each use. The solid has a low melting point, so storage and transit temperature matters in warm conditions.
Benzylideneacetone is used as a brightener in acid zinc electroplating baths, as a flavouring agent where the manufacturer specifies it, and in selected feed additive applications. State the bath chemistry or formulation context so the quoted grade fits.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Benzylideneacetone applications
Safety and handling
Keep benzylideneacetone sealed in a cool, dry place protected from heat and light, as the solid has a low melting point. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about benzylideneacetone
What is benzylideneacetone used for?
Benzylideneacetone is used as a brightener in acid zinc electroplating baths, as a flavouring agent where specified by the manufacturer, and in selected feed additive applications.
Is benzalacetone the same as benzylideneacetone?
Yes. Benzalacetone and 4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one are names for the same compound. State the required grade and purity when you enquire.
Which grade suits electroplating use?
Plating brightener grade is quoted against the purity limits of the acid zinc bath. Include the bath chemistry and required assay with the enquiry.
How should benzylideneacetone be packed and stored?
Pack format is selected around the grade, quantity and handling conditions and confirmed with the quotation. Protect the crystalline solid from light and excessive warmth because it has a low melting point.
What affects a benzylideneacetone quotation?
Plating enquiries should state the isomeric form, purity and residue limits, while flavour or feed buyers should provide their application-grade specification. Quantity, packing needs and delivery location complete the quotation basis, and the offer states its validity period.
