PENTADECANOIC ACID Supplier Malaysia
PENTADECANOIC ACID is an odd-chain saturated fatty acid offered for Malaysian laboratory, specialty-synthesis, food-application and industrial-formulation enquiries. Identified by CAS 1002-84-2 and the C15:0 designation, it is generally handled as a white to off-white crystalline solid, flakes or powder.
Buyers may require analytical and research grade, a synthesis and intermediate grade, a food and flavour application grade, or a technical formulation grade. Assay, fatty-acid composition, acid value, melting range, moisture, colour and physical form can be specified according to the intended work.
Applications include analytical standards and biochemical research, specialty ester and surfactant synthesis, lubricants, binders, antistatic additives, paper processing, plastics compounding, and selected food or flavour formulation work. Pentadecanoic acid is the C15:0 fatty acid and remains separate from myristic acid at C14:0 and palmitic acid at C16:0.

PENTADECANOIC ACID applications
Common questions about PENTADECANOIC ACID
What is pentadecanoic acid used for?
Pentadecanoic acid is used in fatty-acid standards and research, specialty ester and surfactant synthesis, lubricant and antistatic formulations, selected paper and plastics applications, and specialised food or flavour work.
What does C15:0 mean for pentadecanoic acid?
C15:0 identifies a fatty acid with 15 carbon atoms and no carbon-carbon double bonds. This odd-chain saturated identity distinguishes pentadecanoic acid from the neighbouring C14 and C16 fatty acids.
Is pentadecanoic acid the same as myristic acid or palmitic acid?
No. Myristic acid is the C14:0 fatty acid and palmitic acid is C16:0, while pentadecanoic acid is C15:0. They have different identities and should be ordered against separate specifications.
Which pentadecanoic acid grade should a buyer specify?
State whether the material is required for analytical research, synthesis, food or flavour work, or a technical formulation. Include the required assay, fatty-acid composition, acid value, melting range and physical form.
Can pentadecanoic acid be requested for a food-related application?
Food-related enquiries should state the intended application, grade, specification and required documentation so the request can be assessed. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
What information is needed for a pentadecanoic acid quotation in Malaysia?
Send the grade, specification, form, application, quantity, packing preference, documentation requirements and delivery location. Availability, packing, documentation, timing and price are confirmed with the quotation.
