Poloxamer 188 Supplier in Malaysia
Poloxamer 188 supplier in Malaysia for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, personal-care and formulation buyers. This nonionic polyoxyethylene- polyoxypropylene block copolymer is purchased by its specific 188 identity, physical form and quality basis rather than as a generic poloxamer.
Powder, granular and flaked Poloxamer 188 forms support different weighing, charging, dissolution and dispersion needs. Pharmaceutical excipient and personal-care formulation grades retain the same product identity while their quality limits, microbiological criteria and documentation requirements may differ.
Applications include wetting, emulsification, solubilisation, dispersion and process stabilisation in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cleanser, emulsion and other formulated systems. Poloxamer 407 is a separate grade, and prepared solutions or blends must be specified by their solvent, concentration and complete composition.
Send the required physical form, application-grade basis, quality specification, quantity, formulation use and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation, and the Poloxamer 188 price is stated with a defined validity period.

Poloxamer 188 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Poloxamer 188 powder | White to off-white free-flowing or cohesive powder | — | Dry blending, controlled addition and formulation work where the buyer specifies particle form, handling behaviour and the required Poloxamer 188 quality basis. | Particle form, packing and storage conditions are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Poloxamer 188 granules or flakes | White to off-white waxy granules or flakes | — | Pharmaceutical, personal-care and manufacturing processes that prefer a coarser solid form for weighing, charging, dissolution or dispersion. | Solid form, packing and storage conditions are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Pharmaceutical excipient specification grade | Solid Poloxamer 188 supplied against the buyer's declared excipient specification | — | Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulation where identity, physical form, quality limits, microbiological requirements and documentation needs are defined for the intended process. | Specification basis, packing and available documentation are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Personal-care formulation grade | Powder, granular or flaked Poloxamer 188 selected for formulation use | — | Cleansers, emulsions and other personal-care systems that require a nonionic surfactant, wetting, emulsifying or solubilising ingredient with declared quality and compatibility requirements. | Formulation grade, packing and available documentation are confirmed with the quotation. |

Common questions about Poloxamer 188
What is Poloxamer 188?
Poloxamer 188 is a nonionic block copolymer made with polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene blocks. Buyers select the specific 188 identity, physical form, quality basis and formulation performance rather than treating all poloxamers as interchangeable.
What physical forms of Poloxamer 188 are used in manufacturing?
Commercial solid forms include powder, granules and flakes. The preferred form depends on weighing, dust control, charging, dissolution and dispersion needs, so the required particle form should be included in the enquiry.
Is pharmaceutical-grade Poloxamer 188 different from a personal-care grade?
Both must retain the Poloxamer 188 identity, but their quality limits, microbiological requirements, documentation and intended-use specifications can differ. Provide the applicable receiving or formulation specification rather than relying only on an application label.
Are Poloxamer 188 and Poloxamer 407 the same material?
No. They are distinct poloxamer grades with different block composition and material behaviour. A formulation designed for Poloxamer 407 should not be quoted as Poloxamer 188 unless the formulator has separately approved that exact substitution.
Is a prepared Poloxamer 188 solution covered by this page?
No. A prepared solution, dispersion or formulated blend has a declared solvent, concentration and complete composition. This page covers Poloxamer 188 raw material for further formulation, not an unspecified liquid product.
Which Poloxamer 188 specifications should a buyer provide?
State the required identity, powder, granular or flaked form, particle and solution-behaviour requirements, application-grade basis, quality limits, microbiological criteria and intended process. Include molecular-weight or block-composition limits only when they are part of the buyer's own specification.
What formulation uses are relevant to Poloxamer 188?
Poloxamer 188 is selected for nonionic wetting, emulsifying, solubilising, dispersion and process-stabilising functions in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and personal-care systems. Suitability and use level are determined in the buyer's complete formulation.
What packing and documents are available for Poloxamer 188?
Pack format and available product, batch and quality documentation depend on the quoted grade and specification basis. Include the required packing, labelling, storage conditions and document list with the enquiry for confirmation.
What details are needed for a Poloxamer 188 price quotation?
Send the physical form, quality specification, intended application, quantity, documentation requirements and delivery location. Pricing is issued with a stated validity period for the defined Poloxamer 188 requirement.
