Isododecane Supplier in Malaysia
Isododecane supplier for cosmetic, personal-care, coating and specialty-process buyers in Malaysia. This clear, colourless branched-hydrocarbon liquid is selected as a volatile emollient or carrier by its sensory profile, evaporation behaviour and non-volatile residue specification.
Buyers may request cosmetic grade for general formulation, a low-odour grade for fragrance-sensitive systems or technical solvent material for suitable process applications. Distillation range, colour, odour and residue controls should be stated because one broad grade description does not define every requirement.
Colour cosmetics, long-wear products, deodorants and hair-care formulas use isododecane for light spreading and rapid dry-down. Specialty coatings and inks may use it as a volatile carrier, while dodecane, isooctane, silicone fluids and compounded solvent blends remain different products.
Send the required grade, volatility and residue specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery route and timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Isododecane 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cosmetic-grade isododecane | clear colourless volatile liquid | — | Colour cosmetics, long-wear products, hair-care and skin-care formulations that require fast evaporation, light spreading and a defined residue profile. | Confirm the required closed pack format with the quotation. |
| Low-odour cosmetic isododecane | purified clear liquid with controlled sensory profile | — | Fragrance-sensitive cosmetic and personal-care systems where odour, colour, distillation range and non-volatile residue are tightly specified. | Confirm the required closed pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical solvent grade | clear branched-hydrocarbon liquid for process use | — | Specialty coatings, inks and industrial formulations that name isododecane as a volatile carrier and set their own distillation and residue limits. | Confirm the required closed process pack with the quotation. |

Common questions about Isododecane
What is isododecane used for in cosmetics?
Formulators use it as a volatile emollient and carrier in products such as colour cosmetics, long-wear formulas, deodorants and hair-care preparations. Suitability depends on the complete formulation and required evaporation profile.
Is isododecane the same as dodecane?
No. Isododecane is a branched hydrocarbon product, while normal dodecane is a different straight-chain chemical identity. They should not be treated as interchangeable names or grades.
Is isododecane the same as isooctane or a silicone fluid?
No. Isooctane is a different lower-carbon hydrocarbon and silicone fluids have different chemistry. The formulator should specify isododecane when that exact INCI and evaporation behaviour are required.
Which isododecane grade should a buyer request?
Cosmetic grade suits personal-care formulation, low-odour grades support fragrance-sensitive systems, and technical grades serve suitable coatings or process uses. State odour, colour, distillation and residue limits.
What information supports an isododecane quotation?
Provide the application, required grade, distillation range, non-volatile residue or impurity controls, quantity, packing preference, delivery location and document list.
Are isododecane blends and finished cosmetics included?
No. This page covers isododecane as a bulk ingredient. Solvent blends, finished cosmetics and retail products have separate compositions and should be identified independently.
