Dodecane Supplier in Malaysia for Industrial Formulations
Dodecane supplier enquiries in Malaysia commonly concern a defined liquid C12 hydrocarbon for manufacturing, laboratory and formulation work. Dodecane is the straight-chain compound identified by CAS 112-40-3, not a mixed normal-paraffin cut or the branched material known as isododecane.
Grade selection starts with the required purity and use. High-purity dodecane supports analytical and controlled process work, technical material covers industrial solvent or intermediate duties, and formulation grades are assessed against colour, odour, water and residue requirements.
Applications include chemical reaction media, process dilution, reference-fluid and extraction work, specialist cleaning formulations, and solvent or emollient use in selected personal-care products. The buyer's written specification is important because a broad hydrocarbon family name does not define the same identity or composition.
Send the grade, purity and impurity limits, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation, together with a stated price-validity period.

DODECANE 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High-purity dodecane | clear, colourless liquid | — | Laboratory, analytical and controlled process work that specifies the single C12 hydrocarbon and defines purity, water and impurity limits. Buyers should send the current method or written specification with the enquiry. | Container size, closure and packing configuration are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Technical dodecane | liquid hydrocarbon | — | Industrial solvent, process medium, reaction diluent and chemical intermediate requirements where the accepted purity and physical-property limits are stated by the buyer. | Packing is confirmed for the quoted grade and order quantity. |
| Formulation-grade dodecane | low-colour liquid | — | Personal-care, cleaning and specialty formulation work that names dodecane and sets application-specific limits for odour, colour, purity and residue. It should not be substituted automatically with isododecane. | Packing and the documentation available for the offered grade are confirmed with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep containers closed in a cool, ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Prevent contamination during transfer and follow the safety and handling information supplied for the quoted grade.
Common questions about DODECANE
Is dodecane the same as normal paraffin?
Dodecane is one defined straight-chain hydrocarbon with twelve carbon atoms. Commercial normal paraffin is usually a mixture supplied as a carbon-number cut, such as C10-C13, so its composition is broader. State whether the process requires the single compound or accepts a mixed paraffin cut.
Is dodecane the same as isododecane?
No. Dodecane on this page is the linear C12 compound identified by CAS 112-40-3, while isododecane refers to branched C12 hydrocarbons. Their evaporation, sensory and formulation behaviour may differ, so they should not be treated as aliases or automatic substitutes.
Which dodecane grade should I request?
Request high-purity material for analytical or tightly controlled process work, technical grade for industrial solvent and intermediate duties, or a formulation grade where colour, odour and residue affect the finished product. The written limits decide the grade more reliably than the label alone.
What specifications should accompany a dodecane enquiry?
Provide the required purity, water and impurity limits, appearance or colour requirement, intended use and any residue or odour criteria important to the application. A current specification or test method can be used as the comparison basis for the offered grade.
Can dodecane be considered for personal-care formulations?
Dodecane is used as an emollient, solvent or carrier in selected personal-care formulations. State the exact ingredient identity, intended product and required quality documentation because dodecane and isododecane are distinct materials and should not be interchanged by name.
What packing and documents are available for dodecane?
Send the preferred container format and the documents required by your quality system. Packing, specification information and safety documentation available for the quoted grade are confirmed with the quotation rather than assumed to be the same for every source.
How is dodecane priced and delivered in Malaysia?
Price depends on grade, purity, packing, quantity and delivery location. Send those details for a current quotation with a stated validity period; the delivery route and timing are confirmed in the offer.
