Cellulose Acetate Butyrate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- CAB
- Cellulose Acetate Butanoate
Cellulose acetate butyrate supplier in Malaysia for coatings, inks, plastics, formed products and personal-care formulations. Also known as CAB or cellulose acetate butanoate, this cellulose ester is selected by butyryl, acetyl and hydroxyl basis, viscosity or molecular characteristics, physical form and application performance.
Commercial options include coatings and printing-ink resin, plastics or forming grades, hydroxyl-controlled material and personal-care film-forming grades. White to off-white powder, granules or pellets should be matched to the receiving process, solvent or resin system and required film or processing properties.
CAB grades are not interchangeable solely because they belong to the same polymer family. Differences in substitution, molecular characteristics, moisture and physical form affect solubility, compatibility, flow and film behaviour. Generic cellulose ester is a broader category, not a precise alternate identity.
Send the required composition and viscosity basis, physical form, target specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery route and timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Cellulose Acetate Butyrate 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coatings and inks grade Cellulose acetate butyrate | powder or granules | — | Coating, lacquer and printing-ink systems where butyryl, acetyl, hydroxyl, viscosity, colour and solvent compatibility are selected for the formulation. | Protective dry-material packing is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Plastics and forming grade CAB | granules, pellets or powder | — | Extrusion, moulding, sheet and film processing where composition, molecular mass or viscosity basis, moisture and thermal processing behaviour are specified. | Physical form and pack format are confirmed for the quoted grade. |
| Hydroxyl-controlled CAB | white to off-white powder | — | Reactive coatings and specialist resin systems requiring a declared hydroxyl basis for compatibility and further formulation. | Substitution basis and protective packing are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Personal-care film-forming CAB | fine powder or granules | — | Cosmetic and nail-product formulation where film formation, compatibility, clarity, colour and finished-product performance are evaluated by the formulator. | Application-specific packing and documents are confirmed with the quotation. |

Common questions about Cellulose acetate butyrate
What does CAB mean in coatings and plastics?
CAB commonly means Cellulose acetate butyrate, a cellulose ester available in grades that differ in substitution, viscosity and application behaviour.
Is cellulose acetate butanoate the same as Cellulose acetate butyrate?
Yes. Cellulose acetate butanoate is an alternate chemical name. The exact polymer grade still needs a declared composition and viscosity basis.
Are all CAB grades interchangeable?
No. Butyryl, acetyl and hydroxyl content, molecular characteristics and physical form affect solubility, compatibility, film properties and processing.
What is a hydroxyl-controlled CAB grade?
It is a grade selected with a declared hydroxyl basis for reactive or compatibility-sensitive formulations. Other substitution parameters must also be considered.
Which CAB properties matter for coating formulation?
State substitution basis, viscosity or molecular-mass basis, colour, moisture, solubility, solvent and resin compatibility, and target film performance.
Is generic cellulose ester an alias for CAB?
No. Cellulose ester is a broad family that includes other polymers. Buyers should name Cellulose acetate butyrate and the required grade specifically.
What details are needed for a CAB quotation in Malaysia?
Send the composition and viscosity basis, physical form, application, target specification, quantity, delivery location and required documents.
