Isononanol (Isononyl Alcohol) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Isononyl Alcohol
- INA
Isononanol supplier for plasticiser, ester and surfactant intermediate buyers in Malaysia. Also called isononyl alcohol and shortened to INA, this is the branched C9 alcohol under CAS 27458-94-2 and formula C9H20O. Commercial material is a mixture of branched isomers, and it is the alcohol, not the finished plasticiser.
Trade runs on effectively one technical grade with offers separated on purity, water, colour and acidity, plus a high-purity ester grade and a surfactant intermediate grade. Supply is arranged drummed, in IBC or in bulk, with pack format confirmed at quotation.
The dominant use is as the alcohol esterified into plasticisers such as DINP for flexible PVC. It also feeds esters, lube additives, acrylates, surfactant intermediates, coatings solvents and mining reagent systems. Keep it distinct from 2-ethylhexanol and from nonylphenol, which are different raw materials.
Send the required grade, specification limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, pack format, documentation and delivery timing are settled with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
- Grade
- technical, high-purity, surfactant intermediate
- Appearance
- clear, colourless liquid with a mild characteristic odour
Isononanol 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard technical grade | clear, colourless liquid | — | The workhorse grade esterified into plasticisers such as diisononyl phthalate (DINP) for flexible PVC and used as a general industrial alcohol. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity ester grade | clear, colourless liquid | — | Tighter water and acidity control for esterification and lube additive routes where the specification limits the moisture or acid of the alcohol. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Surfactant intermediate grade | clear, colourless liquid | — | Alcohol charged to ethoxylation and sulphation for C9-based surfactant intermediates used in cleaning and industrial formulation. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep sealed in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat, ignition sources and strong oxidisers. Use gloves and eye protection and follow the safety data sheet issued for the quoted grade.
Common questions about isononanol
What is isononanol used for?
The largest use is as the alcohol esterified into plasticisers such as diisononyl phthalate for flexible PVC. It also feeds esters, lube additives, acrylates, surfactant intermediates and coatings solvents.
Is isononanol the same as isononyl alcohol?
Yes. Isononanol and isononyl alcohol name the same C9 branched alcohol, and INA is the common abbreviation. Commercial product is a mixture of branched C9 isomers under CAS 27458-94-2.
Is isononanol the same as 2-ethylhexanol?
No. 2-ethylhexanol is a C8 alcohol with its own page, while isononanol is a C9 alcohol. They are different raw materials and are not interchangeable in a formulation.
What is isononanol used for in plasticisers?
Isononanol is the alcohol feedstock for diisononyl phthalate and related C9 plasticisers used in flexible PVC. The alcohol itself is supplied to esterifiers rather than used directly as a plasticiser.
How do I request an isononanol price in Malaysia?
Send the purity target, specification limits, quantity and delivery location, and say whether drums, IBC or bulk suits. Isononanol is quoted on enquiry with a stated validity period.
