Sodium Laurate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Sodium Dodecanoate
- Dodecanoic Acid Sodium Salt
Sodium laurate supplier enquiries in Malaysia cover the sodium salt of lauric acid, also called sodium dodecanoate. It is a defined C12 fatty-acid soap used in cleansing, emulsifying, oleochemical and industrial formulation work.
Buyers may require powder, flakes or granules for dry charging, or an aqueous dispersion for liquid processing. Sodium soap content, moisture or solids, free fatty acid, alkalinity, colour and insoluble matter are common quotation controls.
Sodium laurate is used in cleaning systems, selected personal-care soaps, emulsions and process-lubricant formulations. It is distinct from potassium laurate, sodium stearate and blended soap noodles, which have different cation or fatty-acid specifications.
Send the required form, active or solids basis, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.

Sodium Laurate 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 sodium laurate powder | white to off-white powder | — | Dry blending into soap, cleaning and oleochemical formulations that require a defined sodium C12 fatty-acid salt. | Confirm the required dry pack format with the quotation. |
| Sodium laurate flakes or granules | flakes or free-flowing granules | — | Industrial charging and soap formulation where a coarser, easier-to-handle solid form is preferred. | Confirm the required dry pack format with the quotation. |
| Sodium laurate aqueous dispersion | milky to hazy liquid dispersion | — | Liquid formulation work where the sodium soap is incorporated as a prepared dispersion rather than dry powder. | Confirm the required liquid pack format with the quotation. |

Sodium Laurate applications
Safety and handling
Keep dry grades sealed and protected from humidity. Keep aqueous dispersions closed and protect them from contamination and extremes of temperature.
Common questions about sodium laurate
Is sodium laurate the same as sodium dodecanoate?
Yes. Sodium dodecanoate is the systematic name for sodium laurate, the sodium salt of the C12 fatty acid lauric acid.
Is sodium laurate the same as soap noodles?
No. Sodium laurate is one defined fatty-acid salt, while soap noodles are normally a blended soap base with their own fatty-acid profile and grade. Specify the exact material required by the formulation.
Which form of sodium laurate should I request?
Powder, flakes or granules suit dry blending and charging. An aqueous dispersion suits a liquid process that does not want to start from dry material. State the target solids and dosing method.
What specifications matter for sodium laurate?
Buyers commonly define sodium soap content, moisture or dispersion solids, free fatty acid, alkalinity, colour and insoluble matter. Add particle-form requirements when handling or dispersion is critical.
How do I request a sodium laurate quotation in Malaysia?
Send the form, active or solids basis, application, quantity, delivery location and document requirements. Availability and packing are confirmed with the quotation.
