Erucic Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Cis-13-Docosenoic Acid
Erucic acid is supplied as a long-chain monounsaturated fatty-acid feedstock for oleochemical, polymer and lubricant manufacturers in Malaysia. Also known as cis-13-docosenoic acid, it is selected by purity, colour, fatty-acid profile and physical form for downstream conversion and formulation.
Commercial requirements include industrial and higher-purity low-colour grades supplied as a waxy solid, flakes or liquid depending on temperature and handling conditions. Buyers should distinguish the acid from erucamide, which is a separate downstream derivative used in polymer applications.
Erucic acid is used to produce fatty amides, esters and other specialty derivatives, and as a feedstock in lubricant, grease and polymer-additive programmes. The relevant grade depends on the reaction, final-product colour and impurity limits rather than the name alone.
Send the required purity, colour, form, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for the selected erucic acid grade.

Common questions about erucic acid
Is erucic acid the same product as erucamide?
No. Erucic acid is the fatty-acid feedstock, while erucamide is a downstream amide derivative commonly used as a polymer slip additive.
Which erucic acid grade should I request for chemical synthesis?
State the target erucic-acid content, colour, moisture or impurity limits and downstream reaction. A current specification or incumbent sample helps match the required grade.
Why can erucic acid be supplied as a solid or liquid?
Its physical state changes with temperature and handling conditions. Confirm the receiving and processing arrangement so the quoted form and pack format suit the plant.
What information is needed for an erucic acid quotation?
Include grade, purity target, colour requirement, form, end use, quantity, delivery location and any document or sampling requirements.
Can packing and documentation be matched to a production requirement?
State the preferred pack format and required quality documents with the enquiry. Available packing and documentation are confirmed for the quoted grade.
