Cetrimide Supplier in Malaysia
Cetrimide supplier for pharmaceutical, personal-care, cleaning and laboratory buyers in Malaysia. Cetrimide is a commercial mixture of cationic quaternary ammonium surfactants supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder or solid, with its composition and active-content basis defined by the selected grade.
Compendial-specification cetrimide is purchased against a named monograph and edition. Technical and formulation grades are selected through active content, moisture, appearance and alkyl-chain profile, while laboratory grades are matched to the named reagent method or microbiological medium.
Cetrimide should not be described as a single quaternary compound without a supporting specification. Cetrimonium bromide and other individual salts are separate identities for purchasing purposes, and finished disinfectant solutions or prepared cetrimide media are separate formulations.
Send the required grade, composition or monograph basis, application, quantity, delivery location and documentation criteria with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Cetrimide 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compendial-specification cetrimide | white to off-white crystalline powder or solid | identity, active-content and composition criteria confirmed against the named monograph and edition | Pharmaceutical and topical-product manufacture where the buyer specifies a recognised cetrimide monograph, test basis and documentation requirement. | Confirm the required pack format and documentation with the quotation. |
| Technical and formulation-grade cetrimide | solid cationic surfactant mixture | active content, moisture, appearance and alkyl-chain profile confirmed against the formulation specification | Cationic surfactant input for speciality cleansing, antimicrobial and personal-care formulations that expressly call for cetrimide rather than a single quaternary ammonium compound. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Laboratory and microbiology-grade cetrimide | specification-controlled powder or crystalline solid | identity, active content and reagent-quality limits confirmed for the method | Reagent preparation and selective microbiological media where the method names cetrimide as an ingredient and the buyer defines the applicable reagent specification. | Confirm the required laboratory pack format with the quotation. |

Cetrimide applications
Common questions about cetrimide
Is cetrimide the same as cetrimonium bromide or CTAB?
Not as a general purchasing assumption. Cetrimide is a commercial mixture of alkyltrimethylammonium bromides, while cetrimonium bromide names an individual compound. Buyers should follow the exact identity and composition stated in their specification.
Does cetrimide have a single molecular formula?
No single formula represents the complete commercial mixture. Use the name cetrimide, CAS 8044-71-1 and the required mixture or monograph specification to define the material for an enquiry.
What is the difference between compendial and technical cetrimide?
A compendial-specification grade is assessed against the named monograph and edition supplied by the buyer. A technical grade follows an agreed active-content, moisture, appearance and composition profile for formulation or process use.
Is a cetrimide disinfectant solution included on this page?
No. This page covers raw cetrimide material. A diluted disinfectant, cleanser, cream or other multi-ingredient preparation is a formulated product and should be specified separately.
Which details matter for laboratory or microbiology-grade cetrimide?
State the method or medium, required reagent grade, identity and active-content criteria, quantity and documentation. Finished cetrimide agar or another prepared medium is not treated as raw cetrimide.
What is needed for a cetrimide quotation in Malaysia?
Provide the grade, composition or monograph basis, active-content requirement, application, quantity, delivery location and documentation needs. Packing and delivery timing are then confirmed with the quotation.
