Methyl Laurate-Myristate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- C12-C14 Methyl Ester
Methyl laurate-myristate supplier for oleochemical, home care and personal care buyers in Malaysia. Also written as methyl laurate/myristate and traded as a C12-C14 methyl ester cut, this material is a mixed ester fraction built from lauric (C12) and myristic (C14) acids. It is a colourless to pale yellow liquid that can cloud or partially set in cold conditions.
Oleochemical and cosmetic grades are requested against different purity and documentation requirements. Chain distribution, ester content, acid value and moisture are the usual specification checkpoints, and each quoted cut carries its own C12 to C14 distribution.
Home care formulations, skin and hair care products and downstream oleochemical processing draw on this cut for its light emollient character and ester solvent behaviour. This page covers the mixed C12-C14 cut only, not the single esters methyl laurate or methyl myristate.
Send the C12-C14 chain distribution, ester content, acid value, moisture, source declaration if required, application, quantity and delivery location. Packing, available documentation and timing are confirmed for the selected cut, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about methyl laurate-myristate
What is methyl laurate-myristate?
It is a mixed methyl ester cut built mainly from lauric (C12) and myristic (C14) acids, traded as a C12-C14 methyl ester. The feedstock or oleochemical source should be declared separately when it matters to qualification.
Is this cut the same as methyl laurate or methyl myristate?
No. Methyl laurate and methyl myristate are single-chain esters with their own specifications. This page covers the mixed C12-C14 cut, so state the composition your formulation needs and the correct material will be quoted.
Which grade should I request?
Oleochemical grade suits home care and industrial processing, while cosmetic grade is matched to personal care purity and documentation requirements. Include the end use and any ingredient-list or specification requirement.
How is methyl laurate-myristate packed and delivered?
It is a low-viscosity liquid that can cloud or partially set in cold conditions. Pack format, delivery route and timing are confirmed with the quotation rather than fixed in advance.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide the grade, cut distribution or specification, quantity and delivery location. The quotation carries its own validity period and confirms availability, packing and documentation.
