n-Butyl Oleate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Butyl Oleate
- Oleic Acid Butyl Ester
- Butyl (Z)-Octadec-9-Enoate
n-Butyl oleate is an oleate ester used as a lubricant, process auxiliary, plasticiser and functional oily component. It can be considered for industrial formulations where the formulator needs lubricity, slip, flexibility or a fatty-ester contribution with controlled viscosity.
The page covers industrial ester, lubricant, and plasticiser or process-aid grades. Buyers should qualify acid value, ester quality, colour, odour, water, viscosity, low-temperature behaviour and compatibility with the base oil, resin, polymer or rubber system.
n-Butyl oleate is distinct from isopropyl oleate, ethylhexyl oleate, methyl oleate and pentaerythritol oleate esters. The alcohol group and functionality change the physical and processing behaviour, so an alternative should be selected by formulation need rather than by the shared word oleate.
Send the intended application, quality limits, viscosity or pour requirement, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and quotation-stage commercial details are confirmed for the selected n-butyl oleate grade.

Common questions about n-butyl oleate
What is n-butyl oleate used for?
n-Butyl oleate is used as a lubricant, plasticiser, slip aid, process auxiliary and functional ester in polymer, rubber, coating and industrial formulations.
Is n-butyl oleate the same as isopropyl oleate?
No. Both are oleate esters, but the alcohol portion is different. That changes viscosity, volatility, low-temperature behaviour and compatibility in a finished formula.
Which specification matters for lubricant use?
Provide the base oil, viscosity range, pour or low-temperature target, acid value, water limit, oxidation requirement and compatibility with the additive package.
Can n-butyl oleate be used in plastics?
It may be considered as a plasticiser, slip aid or process additive when the polymer, migration target, flexibility and processing conditions have been qualified.
What should be included in an enquiry?
State the application, ester quality, physical-performance targets, estimated quantity, packing preference, documentation needs and Malaysian delivery point.
