Gallic Acid Supplier in Malaysia
Gallic acid supplier enquiries in Malaysia cover a purified phenolic acid used in chemical synthesis, analytical work and application-specific formulations. The product remains distinct from tannic acid, propyl and other gallates, botanical extracts and finished nutraceutical or personal-care products.
Commercial requirements may specify high-purity gallic acid, purified material from a declared botanical extract route, or a controlled-particle-size powder. Food, cosmetic, laboratory and industrial application grades add different impurity, colour, moisture and microbiological controls to those source choices.
Buyers commonly define assay method, related substances, moisture, ash, colour, residual process materials and particle-size distribution. A botanical extract reported in gallic acid equivalents is not purified gallic acid, and no unsupported assay or efficacy value is inferred from that analytical term.
Send the required purity, source route, particle grade, application specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

- Grade
- high-purity gallic acid, extract-derived purified gallic acid, controlled-particle-size gallic acid, application-specific gallic acid grade

Gallic Acid 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 gallic acid | crystalline powder | — | Chemical synthesis, analytical work and formulation where identity, assay and related-substance limits are defined for purified gallic acid. | Confirm the purity specification and pack format with the quotation. |
| Extract-derived purified gallic acid | purified crystalline powder isolated from a botanical tannin source | — | Food, nutraceutical, cosmetic and specialty formulations that require a declared botanical source route while still specifying purified gallic acid. | Confirm the source declaration, purity specification and pack format with the quotation. |
| Controlled-particle-size gallic acid | classified crystalline powder | — | Dry blends, premixes and dissolution processes that define particle-size distribution, powder flow and dispersion alongside chemical purity. | Confirm the particle-size requirement and pack format with the quotation. |
| Application-specific gallic acid grade | crystalline powder against a declared food, cosmetic, laboratory or industrial specification | — | Formulations and processes that need application-specific limits for impurities, colour, moisture, residual process materials and microbiology. | Confirm the application specification and pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep containers tightly closed, cool and dry, protected from light, moisture and contamination. Control airborne powder during transfer and follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about Gallic Acid
Is gallic acid the same as tannic acid?
No. Gallic acid is a defined phenolic acid, while tannic acid refers to a larger hydrolysable tannin material with a different molecular composition and commercial specification. They are related in tannin chemistry but are not interchangeable products.
What does gallic acid equivalent mean on an analytical report?
Gallic acid equivalent is a reporting basis used by some total-phenolic methods. It does not mean the tested extract contains that amount of pure gallic acid, and it is not an alternate name for the supplied chemical. Compare the method, calibration and reporting basis with the result.
Is extract-derived gallic acid the same as a botanical extract?
No. Extract-derived gallic acid on this page means purified gallic acid with a declared botanical source route. A botanical extract remains a mixture of many constituents and may report total phenolics as gallic acid equivalents. The source, assay and impurity specifications must show which material is offered.
Is gallic acid the same as propyl gallate or another gallate?
No. Gallates are salts or esters derived from gallic acid and have different identity, physical properties and applications. Propyl gallate and other gallates require their own full chemical name and specification rather than being treated as gallic acid grades.
Which particle-size grade should I request?
Choose the particle distribution to suit dry blending, dosing, dissolution and dust-control needs. A finer powder may disperse or dissolve differently but can also change flow and dust. State the process equipment and target sieve or particle method with the enquiry.
Which specifications matter when buying gallic acid?
Common enquiry points include identity, assay, related substances, moisture, ash, colour, residual process materials, source route and particle size. Application grades may add microbiological or contaminant controls. Every limit should be linked to its test method.
Does gallic acid have one universal assay or purity grade?
No unsupported universal assay is used on this page. Purity and impurity limits depend on source route, application and test method. Send the target specification or current incoming-control standard so the quotation can be made on the same analytical basis.
Does gallic acid guarantee antioxidant or health effects?
No efficacy or health outcome is promised by this catalogue page. It describes a purified raw material and its commercial specifications. Finished-product performance and claims depend on formulation, dose, evidence and intended market, which are outside the raw-material quotation.
What packing and documents can be requested for gallic acid?
Send the purity, source route, particle and application grade, preferred pack format and product document requirements with the enquiry. Available packing and documentation are confirmed for the quoted grade.
What is needed for a gallic acid price enquiry in Malaysia?
Send the purity and impurity limits, source route, particle-size requirement, application, quantity and delivery location. Include packing and document preferences so the quotation can state its complete basis and validity period.
