Pentanal Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Valeraldehyde
- N-Pentanal
- Pentyl Aldehyde
Pentanal supplier enquiries in Malaysia are relevant to chemical manufacturers and formulators that use a straight-chain C5 aldehyde as a reactive intermediate. Pentanal is also called valeraldehyde or n-pentanal, and it should be specified by that identity rather than confused with other pentyl compounds or mixed aldehyde streams.
Commercial grades are clear volatile liquids and may differ in assay, water, colour, acidity, stabilisation and trace impurities. A technical synthesis grade may suit a general reaction route, while a high-purity grade is considered when downstream colour, odour or impurity limits are tighter.
Pentanal can be used in the synthesis of aroma chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, coating-related materials and other specialty organic products. The appropriate grade depends on the reaction, the intended conversion, the buyer's impurity limits and the documentation needed for the process.
Send the required grade, assay, stabilisation requirement, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Pentanal 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical synthesis grade pentanal | clear colourless to pale liquid | — | Reactive aldehyde intermediate for chemical synthesis where the buyer controls downstream conversion and requires a defined identity and purity range. | Confirm the required liquid pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity intermediate grade | clear volatile liquid | — | Specialty intermediate for aroma chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates and other synthesis routes requiring tighter colour and impurity controls. | Confirm the required liquid pack format with the quotation. |
| Stabilised commercial grade | clear liquid | — | General industrial synthesis and formulation work where stabilisation, water content and storage requirements are stated in the purchase specification. | Confirm the required liquid pack format with the quotation. |

Keep sealed in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat, ignition sources and strong oxidisers. Follow the storage and handling information for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about pentanal
What is pentanal also called?
Pentanal is also known as valeraldehyde or n-pentanal. These names identify the straight-chain C5 aldehyde, not a general mixture of C5 aldehydes or another pentyl compound.
What is pentanal used for?
Pentanal is mainly used as a reactive intermediate in chemical synthesis, including routes to aroma chemicals, specialty intermediates and selected pharmaceutical or coating materials.
Which pentanal grade should I request?
Use technical synthesis grade for a defined industrial route, or request a higher-purity grade when colour, water or trace impurity controls are critical. State the downstream reaction and limits from your specification.
What specifications matter for pentanal?
Identity, assay, appearance, water, colour, acidity and any stabilisation requirement are useful purchasing controls. Because pentanal is volatile and reactive, the intended pack and storage conditions should also be discussed.
What information is needed for a pentanal quotation?
Send the required purity, stabilisation or impurity limits, application, quantity, preferred liquid packing and delivery location. Availability and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.
