Isoamyl Alcohol Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 3-Methyl-1-Butanol

Isoamyl alcohol supplier in Malaysia for coatings, mining, flavour and general industrial buyers. Also written 3-methyl-1-butanol or isopentyl alcohol, this branched five-carbon primary alcohol is a colourless liquid with a characteristic pungent odour.
Solvent grade serves coatings, lacquers and industrial formulations, while flotation grade is the frother of choice where the plant specification names isoamyl alcohol. Flavour and fragrance grade is selected where purity and odour controls matter for ester intermediate work.
State the end use, required purity and any documentation requirement when you enquire, so the quoted grade matches the application.
Send the solvent, flotation or flavour and fragrance grade, purity and water or sensory requirements, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Packing, available documents and delivery timing are confirmed for the selected liquid specification. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
