Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- BHT
- 2,6-Di-Tert-Butyl-4-Methylphenol
- E321
- INS 321
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) for edible oils, fats, feed and polymer stabilisation in Malaysia. This hindered phenolic antioxidant protects against oxidative rancidity in oil phases where a solid crystalline active is preferred.
Food-grade BHT suits frying oils, shortening and snack fat systems under E321-style labelling. Technical grades serve rubber, plastics and industrial oil packages when food rules do not apply.
Palm-oil refiners and food plants dose BHT into bulk oil or fat premixes. Personal-care formulators may use suitable purity in anhydrous bases. Rubber and plastics compounders add technical BHT as a processing antioxidant.

Butylated Hydroxytoluene 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food-grade BHT | white crystalline powder or crystals | — | Oil-phase antioxidant for edible oils, fats, margarine, shortening and fat-containing foods where oxidative rancidity must be slowed. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical-grade BHT | crystalline powder | — | Stabiliser in selected personal-care, cosmetic and technical formulations that contain oils or other oxidation-sensitive ingredients. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Industrial and polymer antioxidant grade | crystalline powder or crystals | — | Antioxidant addition in rubber, plastics, resins, lubricants and industrial oils where storage oxidation of the polymer or oil phase must be limited. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidising agents and excessive heat. Control dust during handling and follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about butylated hydroxytoluene
Is BHT the same as BHA or TBHQ?
No. BHT is butylated hydroxytoluene. BHA is butylated hydroxyanisole on a separate page, and TBHQ is tertiary butylhydroquinone with different oil-phase behaviour.
Where is food-grade BHT typically used in manufacturing?
In edible oils, frying fats, shortenings and snack oil systems that need a solid phenolic antioxidant to slow oxidative rancidity during storage.
When is technical BHT chosen instead of food grade?
For rubber, plastics and industrial oil packages where food-additive rules do not apply and a technical antioxidant grade is sufficient.
What should a BHT bulk enquiry list clearly?
State food or technical grade, crystal or powder form, the kilos required, any document needs and the delivery site for shipment.
Can packing and certificates be requested with the quote?
Yes. Preferred pack format and document needs for BHT are confirmed with the antioxidant quotation rather than assumed as fixed stock.
How is bulk BHT priced for Malaysian buyers?
Butylated hydroxytoluene is priced on enquiry with a validity period that reflects the selected grade, form and tonnage.
