Isoamyl Laurate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Isopentyl Laurate
- 3-Methylbutyl Dodecanoate
Isoamyl laurate is a functional fatty ester used as an emollient, spreading aid, lubricant and low-odour oily phase. It is relevant to personal-care formulations as well as selected industrial coatings, polishes and process formulations that need slip or a light sensory profile.
The page covers personal-care emollient, industrial ester and low-odour formulation grades. Selection normally depends on clarity, odour, acid value, ester quality, viscosity, spreadability, compatibility with oils or solvents and the finished formulation's sensory or processing target.
Isoamyl laurate is different from methyl laurate, sorbitan laurate and other lauric esters. Those products have different alcohol or polyol structures and are chosen for different emulsification, volatility, lubricity or formulation behaviour.
Send the intended formulation, required sensory or lubricity profile, quality limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed against the quoted isoamyl laurate grade.
- Grade
- personal-care emollient grade, industrial ester grade, low-odour formulation grade
- Appearance

Common questions about isoamyl laurate
What is isoamyl laurate used for?
Isoamyl laurate is used as a light emollient, spreading ester, slip aid, lubricant and low-odour oily component in personal-care and industrial formulations.
Is isoamyl laurate the same as methyl laurate?
No. Isoamyl laurate uses an isoamyl alcohol group, while methyl laurate uses methanol. Their volatility, sensory profile and formulation performance are not identical.
Which grade is suitable for personal-care work?
Request a personal-care emollient grade and provide clarity, odour, sensory, acid-value, compatibility and documentation requirements for the target formula.
Can isoamyl laurate be used in industrial coatings?
It may be considered where a functional ester is needed for wetting, slip, flow or low odour. Compatibility with the binder and solvent package should be qualified first.
What should be included in an isoamyl laurate enquiry?
State the application, required appearance and odour, viscosity or spread target, estimated quantity, packing preference and Malaysian delivery point.
