LINOLEIC ACID Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Cis,cis-9,12-Octadecadienoic Acid
- 9,12-Octadecadienoic Acid
- C18:2
LINOLEIC ACID supplier in Malaysia for industrial, coating, personal-care, nutrition and laboratory buyers. Linoleic acid is an unsaturated C18:2 fatty acid supplied as an oily liquid and selected by purity, complete fatty acid profile, acid value, colour and oxidation condition.
Technical grades serve ester, surfactant, lubricant and alkyd resin manufacture, while high-purity material supports controlled synthesis and analytical work. Cosmetic and nutrition applications require grades qualified against the formulation's purity, odour, oxidation and documentation requirements.
Commercial specifications may distinguish linoleic acid content from related saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Linoleic acid and linolenic acid are separate identities, so buyers should state the full product name and fatty acid profile rather than relying on an abbreviated description.
Send the required grade, fatty acid profile, application, quantity and delivery location for a quotation. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for the quoted linoleic acid requirement.

LINOLEIC 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 linoleic acid | pale yellow oily liquid | — | Fatty acid esters, surfactants, lubricant intermediates, alkyd resins and other industrial synthesis where fatty acid profile, acid value and oxidation condition are specified. | Liquid packing and commercial details are confirmed with the quotation. |
| High-purity linoleic acid | clear colourless to pale yellow oil | — | Specialty synthesis, laboratory work and controlled formulations that require a defined linoleic acid content and tighter limits on related fatty acids, moisture and oxidation products. | Pack format and supporting documents are confirmed for the quoted grade. |
| Cosmetic and nutrition grade linoleic acid | refined oily liquid | — | Personal-care, nutraceutical and formulated food applications where the fatty acid profile, colour, odour, oxidation limits and application-specific documentation must match the buyer's requirement. | Suitable packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep linoleic acid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, protected from heat, light, air and contamination. Follow the storage and handling information supplied for the quoted grade.
Common questions about LINOLEIC ACID
Is linoleic acid the same as linolenic acid?
No. Linoleic acid is a C18:2 fatty acid, while linolenic acid has three carbon-carbon double bonds and a separate product identity. State the full fatty acid name and required profile when ordering.
Which linoleic acid grade suits industrial synthesis?
Technical material may suit ester, surfactant, lubricant and resin reactions, while higher-purity grades are selected for tighter control of related fatty acids and oxidation products. Send the reaction and feed specification.
What specifications matter when buying linoleic acid?
Buyers commonly define linoleic acid content, the complete fatty acid profile, acid value, moisture, colour and oxidation limits. The relevant specification depends on the downstream reaction or finished formulation.
Can linoleic acid be specified for cosmetic or nutrition use?
Yes, but the grade must match the application-specific purity, odour, colour, oxidation and documentation requirements. Identify the end use and complete purchasing specification in the enquiry.
Why is oxidation control important for linoleic acid?
Its unsaturated structure can oxidise during handling and storage, changing odour, colour and analytical results. State any peroxide or other oxidation limit required for the intended process.
How are linoleic acid packing and documents confirmed?
State the grade, preferred pack format and any product documents required. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted material.
What details are needed for a linoleic acid price enquiry in Malaysia?
Send the required grade, purity or fatty acid profile, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention required documents and timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
