Camphor Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 2-Bornanone
- Bornan-2-One
- C10H16O
Camphor supplier for personal-care, pharmaceutical compounding, fragrance, plastics and industrial manufacturers in Malaysia. Also known as 2-bornanone and bornan-2-one (C10H16O), solid camphor is a white to translucent crystalline material with a strong characteristic odour, supplied as crystals, powder, flakes or granules rather than as camphor oil or finished tablets.
Commercial requests commonly cover camphor crystals, free-flowing powder, technical grade and pharmaceutical or compounding grade material. Natural and synthetic source types are both used in trade; form, assay and documentation needs differ by application, so buyers should state the grade and target specification with the enquiry.
Formulators use solid camphor in selected personal-care and topical systems, incense manufacture, industrial fragrance blends, cellulose and plastics processing, chemical intermediate work and technical repellent formulations. Keep menthol crystals, camphor oil and finished consumer tablet products on separate enquiries.
Send the required form or grade, source type if relevant, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about camphor
Is this page for solid camphor or camphor oil?
This page covers solid camphor chemical in crystals, powder, flakes or granules. Camphor oil is a different product and should be enquired about separately if that is the material required.
What is the difference between natural and synthetic camphor?
Natural camphor is typically associated with plant-derived material, while synthetic camphor is produced by chemical routes. Both are solid camphor (2-bornanone). State the preferred source type, form and grade in the enquiry so the quotation can match commercial and documentation needs.
Which camphor form should I request?
Crystals are often selected for controlled dosing and fragrance work. Powder suits dry blends and processes that need faster dispersion. Flakes or granules may be preferred for bulk handling. State the form that fits your process rather than assuming a single commercial shape.
Is camphor the same as menthol or peppermint camphor?
No. Camphor is 2-bornanone (C10H16O). Menthol crystals, also sometimes called peppermint camphor, are a different cooling ingredient and should be requested on a separate menthol enquiry.
What specifications should a buyer provide for camphor?
State the intended application and any required limits for assay, melting behaviour, form or particle size, source type and documentation. For an existing recipe, include the current specification or a representative grade description so the requested material can be matched more closely.
What details are needed for a camphor price enquiry?
Provide the form or grade, natural or synthetic preference if any, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and documentation needs so the quotation can address the full requirement.
