Methyl Myristate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Methyl Tetradecanoate
- Myristic Acid Methyl Ester
- Tetradecanoic Acid Methyl Ester
Methyl myristate supplier for oleochemical, industrial and fine-chemical buyers in Malaysia. Also called methyl tetradecanoate and myristic acid methyl ester, it is the C14:0 fatty acid methyl ester identified by CAS 124-10-7 and formula C15H30O2.
Commercial material is a clear, colourless to pale yellow liquid, and grades range from a mixed technical cut up to a distilled high-purity ester. Ester content, acid value, colour and cloud point are the axes buyers specify on, and a palm or vegetable feedstock can be requested where the declaration needs it.
Typical duty includes lubricity additives in metalworking and rolling fluids, low-odour carriers in cosmetic and fragrance bases, ester intermediates in the oleochemical range, and analytical standards in the laboratory. It is the ester, not the free myristic acid.

Common questions about methyl myristate
What is methyl myristate used for?
It is the C14:0 fatty acid methyl ester, used as an ester intermediate, a low-odour carrier and a lubricity additive in metalworking, fragrance, fine-chemical and laboratory work.
Is methyl myristate the same as myristic acid?
No. Myristic acid is the free carboxylic acid, while methyl myristate is its methyl ester. They have separate specifications and separate pages; name the ester on the order.
Which grade should I request?
A technical grade serves general industrial and metalworking duty, while a distilled high-purity grade suits cosmetic, fragrance and fine-chemical work. State your ester content or purity requirement.
Is methyl myristate part of the palm methyl ester range?
It can be. Palm methyl ester covers the C12 to C18 methyl ester family, and methyl myristate is the C14:0 member. Tell us if a palm or vegetable feedstock is required for your declaration.
What details are needed for a price enquiry?
Provide the grade, target purity, quantity, preferred pack format and delivery location. Methyl myristate is quoted on enquiry with a stated validity period.
