Lauryl-Stearyl Alcohol Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- C12-C18 Fatty Alcohol
Lauryl-stearyl alcohol supplier in Malaysia for formulators and oleochemical processors seeking a broad C12-C18 fatty-alcohol cut. The commercial material combines homologues from lauryl through stearyl alcohol and normally appears as a white waxy solid or flakes.
The homologue distribution is the key purchasing field. Cosmetic users also compare colour, odour and acid value, while surfactant and ester producers define hydroxyl value and the carbon-chain profile accepted by their conversion process.
This is not another name for cetearyl alcohol, which concentrates on the narrower C16-C18 range. The lower-chain content in a lauryl-stearyl cut changes melting, formulation and derivative-processing behaviour.
Include the C12-C18 distribution, grade, form, analytical limits, quantity and delivery location in the enquiry. The quotation confirms the material offered, suitable packing, available documents and timing.

Common questions about lauryl-stearyl alcohol
What is lauryl-stearyl alcohol?
It is a fatty alcohol blend covering the C12 to C18 chain range, from lauryl through stearyl homologues. It is supplied as a waxy solid or flakes and specified by chain distribution and hydroxyl value.
Is lauryl-stearyl alcohol the same as cetearyl alcohol?
No. Cetearyl alcohol is a C16-C18 blend of cetyl and stearyl alcohols, while lauryl-stearyl alcohol covers the full C12-C18 cut. If the formulation requires cetearyl alcohol, send a separate enquiry.
Which grade should be requested?
Choose cosmetic quality for direct formulation or technical quality for conversion and industrial blending. The chain profile and hydroxyl value still need to match the receiving specification.
How is lauryl-stearyl alcohol packed?
Tell us whether the plant is set up for flakes or another solid form and provide the order quantity. The commercial offer then states the available packaging.
How is lauryl-stearyl alcohol priced for Malaysian buyers?
A wider or specially controlled homologue cut, cosmetic requirements, analytical limits and shipment size all affect the quotation. Each offer states how long it remains valid.
