Methyl Palmitate-Stearate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- C16-C18 Methyl Ester
Methyl palmitate-stearate supplier for oleochemical, home care and personal care buyers in Malaysia. Also written as methyl palmitate/stearate and traded as a C16-C18 methyl ester cut, this material is a mixed ester fraction built from palmitic (C16) and stearic (C18) acids. At room temperature it is a white to pale yellow waxy solid, flake or pastille that liquefies on gentle warming.
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 C16 to C18 distribution.
Home care formulations, skin care and stick products, lubricant ester systems and downstream oleochemical processing draw on this cut for its waxy structure and emollient character. This page covers the mixed C16-C18 cut only, not the single esters methyl palmitate or methyl stearate.
Send the required C16-C18 cut distribution, ester and acid-value limits, physical form, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Packing, available composition documents and delivery timing are confirmed for the selected waxy material. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about methyl palmitate-stearate
What is methyl palmitate-stearate?
It is a mixed methyl ester cut built mainly from palmitic (C16) and stearic (C18) acids, traded as a C16-C18 methyl ester. It is a palm based oleochemical handled as a waxy solid, flake or pastille.
Is this cut the same as methyl palmitate or methyl stearate?
No. Methyl palmitate and methyl stearate are single-chain esters with their own specifications and pages. This page covers the mixed C16-C18 cut, so state the composition your formulation needs.
How is the material supplied and handled?
It is a waxy solid at room temperature that liquefies on gentle warming, so heated transfer may be needed in process use. State the preferred physical form and receiving constraints so suitable packing can be confirmed.
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 with the enquiry.
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.
