Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- BHA
- E320
- INS 320
- Antioxidant 320
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) for fat-soluble antioxidant duty in food, feed and selected cosmetic bases in Malaysia. BHA is the E320 phenolic antioxidant, distinct from BHT and from beta-hydroxy acid skincare actives.
Food-grade flakes or powder are used in oils, frying systems and dry mixes that need oil-phase protection. Technical grades cover industrial fat and polymer applications outside food standards.
Edible-oil and snack manufacturers select BHA when a mono-alkylated phenolic is specified. Feed premix plants use feed-grade material. Personal-care oil systems may request cosmetic-suitable purity only when the formula calls for it.
State food, feed or technical BHA, form, quantity and site. Documentation and packing for that lot are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about butylated hydroxyanisole
Is BHA the same chemical as BHT?
No. BHA is butylated hydroxyanisole, often coded E320. BHT is butylated hydroxytoluene and is listed on a separate ChemTrade product page.
Is this page about beta-hydroxy acid skincare actives?
No. Cosmetic shorthand sometimes confuses the BHA acronym. This page covers only the food and technical antioxidant butylated hydroxyanisole.
What physical form is usually supplied for BHA?
Flakes or free-flowing powder intended for oil-phase addition in food, feed or technical fat systems depending on the grade requested.
What belongs in a clear BHA purchase enquiry?
State food, feed or technical grade, preferred form, quantity in kilos, documentation needs and the delivery location for the shipment.
Can product documents be listed with the enquiry?
Yes. List CoA or other document needs in the enquiry so available documentation can be confirmed with the quotation for that grade.
How is BHA priced for bulk orders?
Butylated hydroxyanisole is quoted on enquiry with a validity window that reflects grade, form and the quantity requested.
