Lauryl Alcohol Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Dodecanol
Lauryl alcohol supplier for surfactant, personal-care, oleochemical and specialty-manufacturing buyers in Malaysia. Also called dodecanol, this C12 fatty alcohol is commonly handled as white waxy flakes or pastilles and becomes a colourless liquid when warmed.
Commercial choices include high-purity C12 material, personal-care grade and technical grade. Buyers compare carbon-chain distribution, hydroxyl value, acid value, colour, moisture and physical form because lauryl alcohol and broad mixed-fatty-alcohol cuts are not automatically equivalent.
Manufacturers use lauryl alcohol as an intermediate for surfactants, esters and ethoxylates, and as an ingredient in selected cleaning, personal-care, lubricant and coating systems. Formulation function and heated handling depend on the complete process and selected grade.
Send the required grade, C12 content or homolog profile, physical form, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, suitable packing, available documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Lauryl Alcohol 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High-purity C12 lauryl alcohol | white waxy flakes or pastilles | — | Surfactant, ester and specialty-chemical manufacture that requires a high proportion of the C12 fatty alcohol and controlled homolog distribution. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Personal-care grade lauryl alcohol | white waxy solid or warmed liquid | — | Cosmetic and personal-care formulations that specify odour, colour, hydroxyl value, C12 content and relevant impurity controls. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical grade lauryl alcohol | waxy flakes, pastilles or liquid under heated handling | — | Cleaning products, lubricants, coatings and industrial synthesis where a technical fatty-alcohol specification meets the process requirement. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about Lauryl alcohol
Are lauryl alcohol and dodecanol the same product?
Yes. Dodecanol is the systematic common name for the C12 fatty alcohol covered by this page. State purity and homolog distribution for commercial matching.
Is lauryl alcohol supplied as a solid or liquid?
It is commonly a waxy solid at ambient conditions and becomes liquid when warmed. State the preferred flakes, pastilles or heated-liquid handling form.
Is lauryl alcohol the same as a mixed fatty alcohol?
No. A mixed fatty alcohol contains a broader carbon-chain distribution. Buyers requiring lauryl alcohol should define the C12 content and allowed homologues.
Which lauryl alcohol grade should I request?
High-purity C12 grade suits controlled synthesis, personal-care grade focuses on formulation controls, and technical grade serves general industrial processes.
Which specifications matter for lauryl alcohol?
State C12 content, homolog distribution, hydroxyl value, acid value, colour, moisture, physical form and any application-specific impurity limits.
What is needed for a lauryl alcohol price enquiry?
Provide the grade, carbon-chain profile, physical form, quantity and delivery location, with packing and documentation requirements where relevant.
