BUTYRIC ACID Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Butanoic Acid
- N-Butyric Acid
BUTYRIC ACID supplier in Malaysia for chemical, agrochemical, food, feed and laboratory buyers. Butyric acid, also called butanoic acid, is a short-chain fatty acid supplied as a clear liquid with a strong characteristic odour and is selected by acid content, water, colour and related organic acids.
Technical grades serve butyrate ester, salt, plasticiser, lubricant and specialty intermediate manufacture, while high-purity material supports controlled synthesis and analytical work. Food and feed applications require grades and documentation qualified for the exact formulation.
Free butyric acid is distinct from isobutyric acid, butyrate salts and protected triglyceride products. Buyers should state the full identity as well as the required purity and physical form so the quotation addresses the correct material.
Send the required grade, purity and related-acid specification, quantity and delivery location for a quotation. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for the quoted butyric acid requirement.

BUTYRIC ACID 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical grade butyric acid | clear colourless liquid | — | Butyrate esters, salts, plasticiser and lubricant intermediates, agrochemical synthesis and other industrial reactions where acid content, water, colour and related acids are specified. | Liquid packing and commercial details are confirmed with the quotation. |
| High-purity synthesis grade butyric acid | clear low-viscosity liquid | — | Pharmaceutical, laboratory and specialty synthesis that requires a tighter butyric acid assay and controlled water, related organic acids and residue. | Pack format and supporting documents are confirmed for the quoted grade. |
| Food and feed grade butyric acid | clear liquid for further formulation | — | Flavour, nutrition and animal-feed preparations where free butyric acid is specified with application-specific purity, odour, acidity and documentation requirements. | Suitable packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep butyric acid tightly sealed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, protected from heat, ignition sources and incompatible materials. Follow the storage and handling information supplied for the quoted grade.
Common questions about BUTYRIC ACID
Is butyric acid the same as butanoic acid?
Yes. Butanoic acid is the systematic name for normal butyric acid. State n-butyric acid when the distinction from branched isobutyric acid matters.
Is free butyric acid the same as sodium butyrate or tributyrin?
No. Sodium butyrate is a salt and tributyrin is a triglyceride derivative. They have different identities, physical forms and specifications, so the required material should be named explicitly.
Which butyric acid grade suits industrial synthesis?
Technical grade may suit broad ester, salt and intermediate manufacture, while high-purity material is selected when water, related acids and residue need tighter control. Send the reaction specification with the enquiry.
Can butyric acid be specified for food or feed formulations?
Yes, but an application-qualified grade and suitable documentation are needed. State whether the requirement is for free butyric acid rather than a salt, protected product or triglyceride formulation.
How should the strong odour of butyric acid affect purchasing?
Buyers should consider closed transfer, ventilation, compatible equipment and the sensory limits of the finished formulation. Follow the handling guidance supplied for the quoted grade.
How are butyric acid packing and documents confirmed?
State the grade, preferred pack format and any product documents required. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted material.
What details are needed for a butyric acid price enquiry in Malaysia?
Send the grade, purity and related-acid limits, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention required documents and timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
