Myristyl Alcohol Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Tetradecanol
Myristyl alcohol supplier for personal-care, oleochemical, detergent and industrial buyers in Malaysia. Also called tetradecanol, this C14 fatty alcohol is supplied as a white to off-white waxy solid, flakes or pastilles under CAS 112-72-1.
Buyers can specify a high-C14 chain profile, a refined personal-care grade, a surfactant intermediate or a lubricant and release-agent grade. Myristyl content, neighbouring homologues, hydroxyl value, acid value, moisture and colour guide selection.
Formulators use Myristyl alcohol for emollience and structure in personal care, as an input to surfactant and ester manufacture, and as a lubricant or process aid in selected plastics, rubber and speciality systems. Mixed lauryl-myristyl alcohol remains a separate product with its own chain distribution.
Send the required C14 profile, physical form, application, quantity and delivery location for a Myristyl alcohol supplier Malaysia quotation. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the offer.

Myristyl Alcohol 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High-C14 Myristyl alcohol | White waxy flakes, pastilles or solid | — | Formulations and synthesis routes that specify a high tetradecanol content, narrow carbon-chain profile and controlled colour and acid value. | Dry solid packing is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Personal-care grade Myristyl alcohol | Refined white to off-white waxy solid | — | Creams, lotions, sticks and hair or skin-care systems that require a fatty alcohol for emollience, structure, emulsion support and sensory modification. | Application-suitable packing is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Surfactant-intermediate Myristyl alcohol | Distilled C14 fatty alcohol solid | — | Ethoxylation, esterification and other chemical conversion processes that define chain distribution, hydroxyl value, moisture and process-relevant impurities. | Packing is confirmed for the selected intermediate specification. |
| Lubricant and release-agent grade Myristyl alcohol | Waxy solid or flakes selected for melt handling | — | Plastics, rubber and speciality manufacturing formulations that evaluate fatty-alcohol lubrication, release and processing behaviour in the complete system. | Compatible dry packing is confirmed with the quotation. |

Myristyl Alcohol applications
Common questions about Myristyl alcohol
Is Myristyl alcohol the same as tetradecanol?
Yes. Tetradecanol is the systematic carbon-chain name for Myristyl alcohol, the C14 fatty alcohol identified by CAS 112-72-1. Buyers should still state the chain-purity and homolog specification required by the process.
Is Myristyl alcohol the same as lauryl-myristyl alcohol?
No. Lauryl-myristyl alcohol is a mixed C12-C14 fatty-alcohol cut, while this page covers the C14 Myristyl alcohol identity. Mixed cuts require their own carbon-chain distribution and quotation.
Which physical forms of Myristyl alcohol can be requested?
Commercial material can be handled as a waxy solid, flakes or pastilles. State the receiving, melting and dosing method so the quoted form suits the process.
Which specifications matter for a Myristyl alcohol grade?
Buyers commonly define C14 content, neighbouring homologues, hydroxyl value, acid value, moisture, colour and physical form. Include the analytical methods used for equivalence work.
Can one grade suit both personal-care and surfactant manufacture?
Not automatically. Personal-care formulations can prioritise colour, odour and sensory behaviour, while chemical conversion routes focus on chain distribution, hydroxyl value and process impurities.
Does this page establish a fixed vegetable or synthetic origin?
No. Feedstock and production route are procurement attributes that should be declared when required. The quotation confirms the available grade against the buyer's source and identity specification.
How are Myristyl alcohol packing, documents and price confirmed?
Send the chain profile, form, application, quantity and Malaysian delivery location. Availability, packing, available documentation, delivery timing, price and its validity period are confirmed in the quotation.
