INDOLE Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 1H-Indole
INDOLE supplier for fragrance, flavour, feed, fine-chemical and laboratory users in Malaysia. Also identified as 1H-indole and CAS 120-72-9, it is a white to off-white crystalline heterocycle used in carefully controlled sensory formulations and as a synthesis building block.
Commercial choices include fragrance-grade, flavour-grade and feed-grade material, plus high-purity indole for specialised synthesis and laboratory work. Assay, odour profile, melting range and related-substance limits are selected for the application rather than treated as one universal grade.
Perfumers use indole in selected complex fragrance accords, while food, beverage and feed formulators may specify a suitable sensory grade. Fine-chemical manufacturers and laboratories use the parent indole molecule as a building block or reagent, distinct from substituted indole derivatives.
Send the required grade, assay and sensory or impurity specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

INDOLE 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fragrance-grade indole | white to off-white crystals or flakes | — | Fine fragrance and personal-care compositions where indole is used at a formulation-controlled level and odour profile and purity govern approval. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Flavour-grade indole | crystalline solid | — | Selected food and beverage flavour systems that specify indole identity, purity and application-specific compositional controls. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Feed-grade indole | crystalline solid | — | Animal and aquaculture feed flavouring systems where the formulator has specified indole and the required feed-grade parameters. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity synthesis and laboratory grade indole | white crystalline solid | — | Fine-chemical synthesis, analytical work and laboratory applications that require tighter assay and related-substance limits. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep the material sealed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and protect it from heat, light, contamination and incompatible substances. Control dust and vapour exposure during handling and follow the safety information supplied for the quoted grade.
Common questions about INDOLE
Is 1H-indole the same as indole?
Yes. 1H-indole is a systematic identity term for the parent indole covered by this page. State indole and CAS 120-72-9 in the enquiry so the requirement is not confused with a substituted indole derivative.
Is indole the same as indole-3-acetic acid or another indole derivative?
No. Indole-3-acetic acid and other substituted indoles are separate compounds with their own identities and specifications. They should not be treated as grades or aliases of parent indole merely because they share the indole ring name.
Which indole grade should a buyer request?
Fragrance, flavour, feed and high-purity synthesis grades serve different approval requirements. State the intended use, assay, sensory profile and any related-substance limits so the appropriate grade can be considered.
How is indole used in fragrance formulations?
Perfumers use indole as part of selected floral and complex fragrance accords at formulation-controlled levels. Grade selection considers odour character, purity and compatibility with the complete composition rather than a universal loading.
Can indole be requested for food or feed flavouring?
Yes. State whether the application is food, beverage, livestock or aquaculture feed, together with the grade, purity and sensory specification. The formulator remains responsible for setting suitability and use level in the complete product.
What specifications should be provided for indole?
Include the required assay, appearance, odour profile, melting range and related-substance limits. Add the intended application, quantity and delivery location for a complete quotation.
Can packing and product documents be requested?
Yes. List the preferred pack format and required product documents in the enquiry. Suitable packing and available documentation are confirmed for the selected grade with the quotation.
What details are needed for an INDOLE price enquiry?
Send the grade, assay and sensory or impurity specification, intended use, quantity and delivery location. Include packing and documentation needs so the offer addresses the complete requirement.
