Capric Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Decanoic Acid
- 1-Nonanecarboxylic Acid
- C10:0
Capric acid supplier for Malaysian oleochemical, personal-care, cleaning, food-processing and animal-nutrition buyers. Also known as decanoic acid or C10:0, this saturated medium-chain fatty acid is purchased as a defined C10 feedstock for formulations and chemical conversion.
Commercial requirements include technical, personal-care, food and feed grades supplied as crystalline or waxy solids, flakes, pastilles or a warmed molten liquid. Grade selection depends on capric-acid content, the related fatty-acid profile, acid value, moisture, colour and odour targets.
Capric acid is used to produce esters, surfactants, emulsifiers, lubricants and release agents, and in selected flavour, food and animal-nutrition formulations. It is distinct from a caprylic and capric acid blend, which contains both C8 and C10 fatty acids and needs its own composition specification.
Send the required grade, fatty-acid profile, physical form, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Capric 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 capric acid | crystalline or waxy solid, flakes, pastilles or molten liquid | — | Fatty-acid intermediate for ester manufacture, surfactants, lubricants, release agents and other industrial formulations where the required capric-acid content and related fatty-acid profile are specified. | Confirm the required physical form and pack format with the quotation. |
| Personal-care grade capric acid | white crystalline or waxy solid, flakes or pastilles | — | Feedstock for fatty-acid esters, emulsifiers, surfactants and related personal-care ingredients where colour, odour and fatty-acid composition need to match the formulation specification. | Confirm the required form and pack format with the quotation. |
| Food grade capric acid | white solid or clear liquid when warmed | — | Selected food, flavour and processing formulations that specify decanoic acid to an appropriate purity, sensory and fatty-acid profile. | Confirm the applicable grade and pack format with the quotation. |
| Feed grade capric acid | solid flakes or pastilles, or molten liquid as specified | — | Animal nutrition and feed formulations that use medium-chain fatty acids and require a defined capric-acid content and composition profile. | Confirm the applicable grade and pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about capric acid
Are capric acid and decanoic acid the same product?
Yes. Decanoic acid is the systematic name for capric acid, the saturated C10 fatty acid also written as C10:0. The required grade and fatty-acid profile still need to be stated because commercial specifications vary.
What forms of capric acid can be requested?
Capric acid may be specified as a crystalline or waxy solid, flakes, pastilles or a warmed molten liquid. Its physical state changes with temperature, so state the preferred handling form and delivery requirement with the enquiry.
Is capric acid the same as a caprylic and capric acid blend?
No. A caprylic and capric acid blend contains both C8 and C10 fatty acids, while this page covers capric acid as the C10 product. Give the target fatty-acid profile so a pure or concentrated C10 grade is not confused with a mixed medium-chain product.
Which capric acid grade should a buyer request?
Technical grade suits many ester, surfactant and lubricant processes, while personal-care, food and feed applications require a grade matched to their composition and quality specification. State the end use, capric-acid content, related fatty-acid limits and any sensory requirements.
What specifications matter when buying capric acid?
Buyers commonly define capric-acid content, the related fatty-acid profile, acid value, moisture, colour, odour and physical form. Send the written specification or target limits rather than relying on the grade name alone.
What details are needed for a capric acid quotation?
Provide the grade, fatty-acid profile, form, quantity, intended application and delivery location. Include any preferred packing and required documents so the applicable options can be confirmed with the quotation.
