METHYL BENZOATE Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Benzoic Acid Methyl Ester
- C8H8O2
METHYL BENZOATE supplier for chemical manufacturers, formulators and industrial buyers in Malaysia. Also called benzoic acid methyl ester, this clear aromatic liquid is used both as a solvent and as a synthesis intermediate in processes that require a benzoate ester.
Commercial requirements include technical, fragrance and high-purity grades. Buyers compare assay, colour, water, acidity, odour and related organic impurities according to whether the material enters an industrial formulation, fragrance composition or controlled synthesis process.
Applications include fine-chemical and pharmaceutical-intermediate synthesis, dyes and pigments, speciality esters, resins, coatings, inks and selected personal-care or flavour formulations. The specified grade should match the downstream purity and documentation requirements.
Send the required grade, specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Packing, available technical documentation, quotation validity and delivery timing are confirmed for the offered material.

METHYL BENZOATE 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 methyl benzoate | clear colourless to pale yellow liquid | — | Solvent and synthesis intermediate in resins, coatings, dyes, pigments and other industrial chemical processes that specify a technical ester grade. | The liquid pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Fragrance and personal-care grade | clear low-colour liquid with a controlled odour profile | — | Fragrance compositions and selected personal-care formulations that set tighter requirements for colour, odour and related organic impurities. | The liquid pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| High-purity synthesis grade | clear colourless liquid | — | Fine-chemical and pharmaceutical-intermediate synthesis where assay, water and impurity limits are defined around the downstream reaction. | The liquid pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |

Common questions about METHYL BENZOATE
Is methyl benzoate the same as benzoic acid methyl ester?
Yes. Benzoic acid methyl ester is the systematic description of methyl benzoate, formed from benzoic acid and methanol. Both names refer to the product identified by CAS 93-58-3.
How do technical and fragrance grades of methyl benzoate differ?
Technical grade is selected for industrial solvent and synthesis work, while fragrance or personal-care grades usually apply tighter controls to colour, odour and related impurities. The end formulation should define the acceptance limits.
Is methyl benzoate used as a solvent or as an intermediate?
It serves both roles. Buyers use it as a solvent in selected resin, coating and formulation systems and as an ester intermediate in fine-chemical, dye, pigment and pharmaceutical-related synthesis.
Which specifications matter for synthesis-grade methyl benzoate?
Assay, water, acidity, colour and the profile of related organic impurities are common selection points. Include the reaction and any impurity limits that could affect conversion, purification or finished-product quality.
Can methyl benzoate be requested for flavour or personal-care use?
Application-specific grades may be considered when the buyer supplies the required identity, purity and documentation criteria. State the finished-use category clearly. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
What details are needed for a METHYL BENZOATE quotation?
Provide the grade, specification, application, quantity and delivery location. Add packing preferences and required technical documents so they can be addressed in the quotation.
