Levulinic Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 4-Oxovaleric Acid
- Pentanoic Acid, 4-Oxo-
Levulinic acid supplier for resin, specialty-chemical, personal-care and laboratory buyers in Malaysia. Also known as 4-oxovaleric acid, this low-melting organic acid is purchased by assay, water content, colour and related-substance profile.
Commercial choices include technical grade for general synthesis, high-purity material for fine-chemical work and formulation grades matched to specific applications. Its physical state can vary with temperature, so handling requirements should be stated rather than assuming a permanently free-flowing liquid.
Manufacturers use levulinic acid as an intermediate for esters, solvents, resin and polymer-additive routes, and in selected personal-care or flavour-system development. Levulinate salts, esters and finished formulations remain separate products.
Send the required grade, assay, water and impurity limits, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, suitable packing, available documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

LEVULINIC ACID 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical-grade levulinic acid | colourless to pale yellow liquid or low-melting material | — | Resin, polymer-additive, ester and specialty-intermediate manufacture where a technical purity and process-specific impurity profile are acceptable. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity levulinic acid | clarified liquid or low-melting crystalline material | — | Fine-chemical synthesis and laboratory work requiring tighter assay, colour, water and related-substance controls. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Formulation-grade levulinic acid | liquid handled under temperature conditions suited to the grade | — | Personal-care, flavour or other formulation development that explicitly specifies levulinic acid identity and application-appropriate quality controls. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep levulinic acid tightly closed and protected from contamination and unsuitable heat. Follow the storage and handling information supplied for the quoted grade.
Common questions about LEVULINIC ACID
Are levulinic acid and 4-oxovaleric acid the same?
Yes. 4-Oxovaleric acid and pentanoic acid, 4-oxo- are alternate names for levulinic acid under CAS 123-76-2.
Is levulinic acid always a free-flowing liquid?
Not under every storage condition. It is a low-melting material, so its physical state and handling temperature should be confirmed for the quoted grade.
Which levulinic acid grade should I request?
Technical grade suits general synthesis, high-purity grade serves tighter fine-chemical work, and formulation grade is matched to the intended application.
Which specifications matter for levulinic acid?
State assay, water, colour, related substances, physical-state or handling needs and any application-specific document requirements.
Is levulinic acid the same as its esters or salts?
No. Levulinate esters and salts have different compositions and specifications and should not be treated as grades or aliases of the free acid.
What is needed for a levulinic acid price enquiry?
Provide the grade, full specification, application, quantity and delivery location, together with packing and document needs.
