Palmitoleic Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Omega-7 Palmitoleic Acid
Palmitoleic acid supplier in Malaysia for fine-chemical, surfactant and specialty formulation buyers. Also described as omega-7 palmitoleic acid, it is a C16 monounsaturated fatty acid supplied as a colourless to pale yellow oily liquid or soft fatty material, depending on temperature and purity.
Industrial synthesis, high-purity and formulation grades differ in fatty-acid profile, colour, odour, water and oxidation controls. This page covers the free fatty acid only; palmitoleate esters, copolymers and source oils are separate products rather than aliases or grades.
Manufacturers evaluate palmitoleic acid as a building block for esters, surfactants, lubricating components and specialty functional additives. It is not interchangeable with palmitic acid or oleic acid, so the receiving specification should identify the exact fatty acid and required composition.
Send the required grade, fatty-acid profile, quality limits, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Palmitoleic Acid 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial synthesis grade palmitoleic acid | pale oily liquid or soft fatty material | — | Fatty-acid intermediate for ester, surfactant, lubricant and specialty additive development where the process specifies palmitoleic acid. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity palmitoleic acid | colourless to pale yellow oily liquid or soft solid | — | Fine-chemical synthesis, analytical work and formulation development where the buyer sets a tighter fatty-acid profile and impurity specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Formulation-grade palmitoleic acid | oily free fatty acid made to an application specification | — | Raw material for specialty surfactant, emollient and functional ester systems selected by composition, colour, odour and oxidation controls. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep palmitoleic acid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place and protect it from heat, air, light and incompatible materials. Follow the storage and handling information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about Palmitoleic acid
What is palmitoleic acid used for in industrial formulation?
Palmitoleic acid is used as a C16 unsaturated fatty-acid building block for esters, surfactants, lubricating components and specialty additives. The buyer should provide the reaction or formulation specification because the required fatty-acid profile varies by use.
Which palmitoleic acid grade should a buyer request?
Industrial synthesis grade suits derivative manufacture, while high-purity material is intended for tighter analytical, synthesis or development work. Formulation grade may be selected where colour, odour and oxidation controls matter in the finished system.
Is palmitoleic acid the same as palmitic acid or oleic acid?
No. Palmitoleic, palmitic and oleic acids are distinct fatty acids with different chain unsaturation or chain length. They should be ordered by exact name and specification rather than treated as grades of one product.
Are palmitoleic acid esters included on this page?
No. Ethyl, methyl and other palmitoleate esters are separate chemical products. This page covers the free fatty acid, so an enquiry for an ester should name that derivative explicitly.
What specifications should be provided for palmitoleic acid?
State the required fatty-acid profile, acid value, water, colour, odour and oxidation limits, together with any impurity controls used by the process. A current receiving specification is the clearest basis for grade matching.
What packing and documents are available for palmitoleic acid?
Pack format and supporting documents depend on the grade and supply arrangement. Send the preferred pack and document list so they can be confirmed with the quotation.
What details are needed for a palmitoleic acid price in Malaysia?
Send the grade, fatty-acid profile, application, quantity and delivery location. Pricing is issued on enquiry with a stated validity period, and packing, documentation and timing are confirmed in the offer.
