Methyl Laurate-Palmitate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- C12-C16 Methyl Ester
Methyl laurate-palmitate supplier in Malaysia for buyers who need a combined C12 and C16 methyl-ester fraction. Rather than a single pure compound, this commercial cut contains declared proportions of methyl laurate and methyl palmitate and can appear as a low-melting liquid or soft waxy material.
Composition drives both handling and performance. More palmitate raises the heavier-chain contribution, so formulators should compare the C12:C16 distribution alongside ester content, acid value, moisture, colour and the temperature at which the material will be received.
The mixed cut is evaluated in cleaning products, selected emollient systems and downstream oleochemical processing. Separate methyl laurate and methyl palmitate pages serve requirements for the individual esters; neither name alone defines this blend.
Send the required ester distribution, grade, quality limits, handling form, quantity and Malaysian delivery point. The resulting quotation describes the offered C12-C16 material, packaging, documents and schedule. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
- Grade
- oleochemical grade, cosmetic grade
- Appearance
- colourless to pale yellow low-melting liquid to soft waxy solid, depending on composition and temperature

Common questions about methyl laurate-palmitate
What is methyl laurate-palmitate?
It is a mixed methyl ester cut built mainly from lauric (C12) and palmitic (C16) acids, traded as a C12-C16 methyl ester. It is used in home care, personal care and downstream oleochemical processing.
Is this cut the same as methyl laurate or methyl palmitate?
No. Methyl laurate and methyl palmitate are single-chain esters with their own specifications and pages. This page covers the mixed C12-C16 cut, so state the composition your formulation needs.
Is the material a liquid or a solid?
It ranges from a low-melting liquid to a soft waxy solid depending on the C12 to C16 ratio and the temperature. State the handling form your plant expects so the correct cut can be quoted.
Which grade should I request?
Request oleochemical quality for conversion or cleaning work, or cosmetic quality for direct personal-care formulation. In both cases, include the acceptable C12:C16 distribution.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Give the ester distribution and purity limits, physical-form expectation, application, order size and destination. Mention any source declaration or analytical documents needed for approval.
